“Tsundere”

I punched a bathroom stall wall After you played dumb about our whatever-it's-called I kissed your knuckles after you couldn't get any closer I'm an M&M You say Hard, mean even Externally But internally, For you, Alone and curled around your thigh My gooey gentleness Comes out I can't help but melt, With you all...
