i don’t think you want to be in love with me the way i am with you
i don’t think you know what a feeling like that would do
the way it would eat at you from the inside out
starving and relentless and greedy for more
insatiable with the way it feels to be yours
the way it would tether you and i for the rest of time
the cord between us is a long, twisted, sharp bunch of barbed wire
and you could drench yourself in holy water
you could plead and pray and beg
but nothing would ever dig the pieces of my love from your hands
so they’ll forever bleed and you will too
crimson red after every shard of my heart makes its way through you
you’ve got no idea what you’re getting yourself into
it’s okay to admit
it’s alright if when it comes to me, you’re inexperienced
you think you want this but darling, that just isn’t true,
you want the way it feels for me to devote myself to you.
doesn’t this night hurt so good?
