Am I just salt for you to rub into your wounds? You flake me off like dandruff bits on your blazer collar, Sadism is an art when you use me for it We are whips, ripping into each others flesh Taking bites and swallowing Blood down cheeks Vampire treats We are invincible to all but each other I want you to run your fingernails down my back, swirly skin under nails, red like fine felt-tip streaks Paint me like one of your damaged girls This is revolting, but this is home Bruises are kisses as far as we're concerned Lovebites Love bites Obsession is a small word for the hurt we do to each other I love you slap I love you Smack I love you Crunch Bones on bones at the bottom of the stairs We finished each other We're done

this is frightening
Am I just salt for you to rub into your wounds? You flake me off like dandruff bits on your blazer collar, Sadism is an art when you use me for it We are whips, ripping into each others flesh Taking bites and swallowing Blood down cheeks Vampire treats We are invincible to all but each other I want you to run your fingernails down my back, swirly skin under nails, red like fine felt-tip streaks Paint me like one of your damaged girls This is revolting, but this is home Bruises are kisses as far as we're concerned Lovebites Love bites Obsession is a small word for the hurt we do to each other I love you slap I love you Smack I love you Crunch Bones on bones at the bottom of the stairs We finished each other We're done
