take if you wish, but ask if you will =)

That girl from American Beauty

She's a tease,

she's a flirt.

She's Seventeen-

thinking she's all grown up

in that miniskirt.

Each look that she gets,

each leer is a thrill.

Never been hurt,

To new to know

looks can kill.

She finds an identity in men's desire.

Feeding the fantasy

that she

controls their fire.

The flames want only to warm her,

adore her,

do anything for her.

and while she doesn't quite believe,

neither does she leave.

Part of her claiming "Better to be burned

than be ignored."
