My One True Love
Hold me down into the mattress.
Grab my skin.
Jolt our bodies.
Make me yours
We'll become one,
Whisper my name and how I make you feel.
Tell me,
oh, please tell me im your good girl.
Rip me apart
let my body drip our vermillion wine.
Drink up my lies.
"i feel perfect"
"im yours"
Im weak
Silence my screams
push my head into the pillow.
let my tears etch themselves into your being.
Tell me im bad.
Im not good anymore.
My skin is dull and bruised.
you lied.
you never wanted my whimpers pressed in to your skin.
