Narcopath

That's not what I meant to say.

I know my words glide through your flesh like a hot knife through soft butter,

But we both know that muscle only bows to a master outside...

That demon that lies sleeping beneath a cavern of insecurity inside my skull

Pledges loyalty to only one master

And you know I don't like to talk about him.

 

I speak for redemption.

I can't live my life knowing that everyone knows what I am.

Vindicate me so that I can get a moment of sleep and maybe then I won't hate you so much.

 

Sure, I'd like to crush your teeth out of your head,

But what would that do but send you into swirling fits,

Speaking blasphemous truths through your gums, beating?

 

Say you forgive me.

I deserve it.

I need it and you know you need it.

Quid pro quo.

Let me hurt you so you can forgive me.

Vindicate me.

You need to forgive like I need forgiveness.
