Oh God, it's that shallow
We're both pristine vessels, although hollow tubes
Sometimes all I think is, 
"Oh man, if it don't speak but lay there purposefully nude

Oh dear, 
I hope you don't wonder why we aren't here
It's nothing complicated to me, or fear
It's just something you'd rather not see
In you, not me

It's not worth figuring out
But something you will always doubt
Cause hopefully there's something that I'm missing
I can only imagine you're wishing
I'd just forfeit what makes me ugly

Your intentions plague me
My ego's hungry baby
I'll milk you like you milk what you see
I'll always keep this going
Without you ever knowing
Thoughts I've given to what this could be

Oh dear, 
I hope you don't wonder why we aren't here
It's nothing complicated to me, or fear
It's just something you'd rather not see
In you, not me

Oh dear, 
I hope you don't wonder why we aren't here
It's nothing complicated to me, or fear
It's just something you'd rather not see
In you, not me
shallow me

Well, I have to say I enjoyed this quite a bit!  It was a nice flow to it, and would be great sung (as I think you intended it to be).  I had some things that crossed my mind while reading:  you have a quotation mark at the beginning of the poem in the first verse, but no ending quotation mark. Intentional?  Also, in the last two verses, would you consider making the word "or" to "nor"?  Just because you have the word "nothing" in the previous sentence and when I read the poem it sounded better to me.

Just some thoughts, and like I said I liked this!  :)
