just like a dog,
i whimper and whine
what will they use
to hit me this time?

ears cocked back,
head bowed low
maybe they'll stop
if i make a show?

"bad dog, bad dog"
they simply say
"i've done nothing wrong,"
i howl and bay

i used to snarl,
i used to snap
i have no more strength
to fight back

i buried my teeth
in her scarred arm
she only laughed,
i can do no harm

my ancestors were wolves
they knew the way
but i am nothing
nothing but prey

i should have bit
the hand that feeds
before it became
the hand that beats

rotten lies rise
between my teeth
my silver tongue
and the stench of meat

now i could devour
the whole **** world
just to protect
that scared little girl

but i still can't
stand up to you
what the hell
did you do?

that day the sky was
****** mary blue
lying in snow
making angels with you
there are two scars
where they took my wings
one for each person
holding my strings
im still a puppet
with a hollowed out heart
thats why i fill it
with trinkets and art
thats why i feel
so bad when you're gone
and thats why im writing
this silly song
tomorrow ill be empty
and they'll see the hole
fill it with garbage
that's always been my role

lying
sneaking
starting fights
hiding bruises
crying silently
oversleeping
overeating
starving myself
hurting myself
hurting the people i love

bella donna
blurry eyes
rabbit masks
are our disguise
delirious
heart beat
hold me against
your body heat
poison glazed
shining teeth
you will be
the death of me
moon speckled
pale skin
datura and
the scent of sin
devouring
like starved beasts
my bloodied heart
will be our feast
been reading a lot of Baudelaire lately and I wanted to try my hand at something similar.

i don't                                     think
     this is                                      healthy
    but i                                       can't  
      stop                                        myself
­      i'm stuck                                  like this
             just a                                         sick sick  
     pathetic                                    bunny
          my mind screams and screams when
       you're not around so i want you to stay
    stay please stay i know i'm sick but i can't
    do it on my own because they hurt me over
    and over and you're the only one who doesn't
i think i'd end it all without you but i'm afraid
to tell you all this because i know its heavy
and i don't want you to suffer like i have
i want you to be light fluffy joy
i don't want you to worry

you can't buy my love. feral animals
don't wear gold (and that's what you made me)
so i'll chew and spit it back in your
face before i rip it open the way
you once did to me when
i was little and
defense
less
you can't take back what you did.
