You love me
You love me
Like a dog loves a bone
Or a cat loves a mouse
Which is to say
You love me for a while
Until I no longer taste good
You love me long enough
To carve tooth marks into me
But not long enough for it to stop hurting
You love me
Like a tree loves water
Or the sky loves the stars
Which is to say
You love me when you need me
When I am there and thereβs no one better
You love me half the time
When thereβs not too much of me
When I am accentuating your beauty
You love me
Like you love yourself
Or I love myself
Which is to say
You love me sometimes
Despite all of the pain
You love parts of me
The parts that are there when Iβm happy
Or when I pretend to be happy
You love me
The way you know how to
And I love you the way I do
