A warm bed that lacks connection
Is colder than a lonely one
Every day conversations that turn into lies
The simplest of notions asks for an alibi
F%ck another late night
F%ck another petty fight
Confusing true love for black eyes
Raccoon masks for the sake of abuse
Degrading words ware themselves into an emotional noose
I don't blush much anymore
A fool to expect intimacy
When your lips deem me a trifling *****
And still I stay
And still I stay
For the abuser is not only you
It's me
For when I stay
By not walking away
I abuse myself passionately
