Analysis of Red High Heels
I am not what you think
but what you desire
I pleasure myself
consumed in this fire
I have stripped for the single
to which I have owned
and taken the scores
of The Countless
The Known
As I watch the forgiveness fall to the Me's
I tried not to hide my screams that please
For times to change and wet does seal
Myself is true
In these
Red High Heels
