Cactus Legs and Long Hair

We get each other like girls

Because we are girls.

The boy, he was staring longer at us both,

We know-

So we don't fight,

And have late-night conversations like about secret society shit

We both start staring at the stars;

I tried to make you stay to talk

But we grew distant.

Fuck, you always make me feel like family

This time I felt it wasn't so tight,

Like city streets in full effect,

Loaded with sounds.

You, the girl, my friend, turned on me.

We were the scary girls and the "demonios"!

We fought just to be the biggest in the room,

From a servant to herself to the owner of herself

Do you understand that we had to do what we had to do?

You felt you were in a dream

A dream with angels and demons, demons, demons

Now you're the biggest in the room

And you're listening to the room,

The drama left behind

A sense of being used.
