There is something beautiful about two sad people who agree to hurt each other.
Something comforting.
It is a comfort only very damaged people understand- the tacit agreement to cause pain, and to receive it.
Pleasure is for people who have what they want.
But for those of us who are starving, ours is best peppered with suffering.
Being with someone who understands that carries its own worth-
I don't want you to make me feel good.
I couldn't stand it if you did.
I don't want you to touch me gently, or ask if I'm alright, or stop to look into my eyes.
I am starving, and so are you: I want your teeth.
I want you to make me hurt. And I want to hurt you.
I want you to hurt me because I'm not him, and I want to hurt you because you're not her.
We want to see each other suffer because we are starving and we need to feel that someone else is.
Don't hold back. I want you to lower me because I'm too good for her.
Don't love me, don't caress me. Dig your nails in. Drip candlewax on my stomach.
One step down from torture is all I can stand in the way of human connection, when it isn't her.
Punish me for looking at her like a baleful puppy tonight, even as you waited in my room with your soft skin and your sharp teeth.
There is nothing you can do that will be too violent, too brutal, too sadistic.
I don't want to be loved right now.
I am too raw.
I want to be touched. I want to be ruined. Leave marks. Smear lipstick.
Lower me because I am
Too
****
Good for her.
Let this heart know on no uncertain terms that its needs don't matter.
Help me **** it. Help me pin my demons to the bed and make them writhe, and I will do the same for you.
Let's exorcise our loves tonight and banish them to hell.
Let's tell our skin that it is irrelevant.
Let's say "*******" to the things that bind us. I will cut your heart out for him.
I will kiss your scars, not to heal them but to remind you that when you put them there you fought for something, something we both fight for now.
Hurt me. Fight her. Do it for her.
Do it for her because I'm not good enough to hurt.
Do it for her because I'm TOO good to hurt.
Crush me.
You could boil me alive and it wouldn't make up for her, so at least leave me bruised.  
I will give you what you need, and you will give me what I need: not love, but contact.
Please,
Let my heart know on no uncertain terms that its needs
Don't
Matter.

You question your existence
When death is off in the distance
Hating who you are
but don't look too far
The time is now, the present

Oh little sister you don't understand
How that razor wasn't for cutting pills in half
Same with the lighter that you found in my coat
and the locks on the bathroom door

Little sister I heard you well
But did you ever listen to me
There isn't an excuse for what you saw
Those are my scars and I live with them daily

Come closer sister I don't think you know
Your secret will always be safe with me
Don't be scared you have nothing to fear
Sing your problems loud and clearly

Take my advice seriously sister
Learn that you can say no
You don't have to do anything if you don't want to
This is something I myself wish I knew long ago

I'll be gone soon little sister
Don't be sad once I graduate and leave
Be proud that I made it this far
You give me hope, you made me believe

I love you sister
With only a few years apart
I can't imagine you going through this
Know that I am here, and we are sisters
My sister is my inspiration

The sky never seemed more darker
with these thoughts running threw my head
craving for something to feed on
I try to shut them up
lock them up in a wooden box
and throw them into the river where hopes drown
But as they wrap around my wrist
puncturing my heart along with it
I remember the key was in my pocket.
