Hanging from the ceiling,
waiting for the next sweet hit.
Baby, I love that feeling.
Give me all of it.

Don't hold back, darling.
Hit me where it hurts.
Let it all out on me
and hit me like you mean it.
Hit me
like I'm your first.
I don't deserve anyone's best:
So give me only your worst.
Be my prizefighting poet,
throwing only punches
without speaking any words.

And love,
please,
take off that glove.
I want to feel you,
and only you:
And I want you
to feel me, too.

Don't stop.
Even if it kills me.
Not like I planned to live that long;
hit me and
keep on hitting.
It's the only thing
that thrills me.
Is that really so wrong?

And when you're tired,
weak,
worn,
and all done in:
Close the door and leave me here;
and go and gently
snuggle up to him.
And you know
I'll be here when you need me,
just like I've always been.
No metaphors here...

Basking in self-pity,
I pour myself a  drink.
Time alone always gives you
plenty of time to think.

Standing on the edge of the abyss;
I am on the brink.
And I just can't get over it.
Only further,
I seem to sink.

"You again, with your self-pity"
Is what you'd probably say.
Because you'd rather I pretend
that everything's okay.

I guess I'm guilty of being honest
in a world consumed by lies.
A world where it's easier to ignore,
walk away,
and close your eyes.

Do me a favour:
And get out of my head.
I'm sick of your memory.
Of you,
and all the things you said.
Your taunts, your laughter
Your happy ever after

My want, my desire
My hopes thrown in the fire

The words, the thoughts
The evil that haunts

The whispers, so unkind
Are dominating my mind.
You're not good enough
You're better off dead
Just take a rope, and
wrap it round your neck

You're worthless, you know
No-one would care if you died
But you can't let it show
You have to hide it all inside.



Leave me alone
Why do you care?
I can't go anywhere
Without you being there
I try to be happy
I try to forget
I try to pretend
In front of my friends
But I can't
Because you always follow me
And I'm tired
Why won't you shut up?
I'm ugly, I know
My smile
I'm ashamed to use
My face
I'm afraid to show

I've been ready to wrap my arms around you, but I saw you wrap yours around someone else.

I've been willing to kiss your tears away, but you chose to let it flow as you watch her walk away.

I've been loving you and watching you from afar, but instead, you decided to love her like how I love you.

*Unconditional and hopeless.
