Love Me Dead

Letting myself stick around you was the worst form of torture
Punishment at its hightened pleasure
I was addicted to your smell
You were poison
And I mean every I love you
Because an addicts mouth will say anything
To get their hands on just one more hit

Your hair is the sofrest barbed wire, cutting into my finger tips
Your smile is cyanide
You held my hand and snake fangs plunged into skin
Reducing me to an ever congealing mass of hormones and teenage angst

On one hand you knew the power you held to me
How you traced my neck with your nails
And when I whimpered, you laughed
And walked away
Must you be so coy
So sly, so cunning
So god damn irresistible

Every fiber of my well being wants to run away from you
Take up nicotine to replace you
But I've always hated myself
So I'll hold onto your shoulders
Lips inches from each other
And when you smirk and push me away
My crumpled heart will return to your talon's grasp
