His cold hand brushed up against my skin. My cries subsided, the ocean calmed It seemed like so many nights ago we fell in love A gaze for a slap A kiss for a punch It was a beating well deserved Thrusting onto the bed Crumbling against a wall Me Screaming through it all His eyes were so warm and kind, both filled with desire One for love The other for blood He then knelt down by my side His words soft and reassuring Another intricate lie to believe His voice would rock me, eventually breaking me at the core The waves would then rise Crashing onto my battered shore I should swim away I must free myself My heart longs for refuge But I stay in his arms, slowly suffocating in his grip There are few good men in the world And this time I played for keeps
