But Tenderly
I don’t mind that you don’t love me.
I only ask that you humor me.
Touch me. Fool me.
Deceive and confuse me,
baby, I want you to abuse me,
but do it cruelly.
Hurt me once
and I changed,
and it all feels the same,
what a shame.
I’m aware that I’m strange
‘cause now when you bite-kiss me,
it just hurts so damn good.
So beat me, bruise me,
pollute me absolutely,
it don’t matter to me.
Take me, make me,
break me and use me,
I want you to abuse me
but tenderly.
Love me with lies in your eyes
and abandon me come sunrise.
Cut me.
With broken pieces of chivalry,
I will swallow them whole
and mold myself like wet clay
into your fleeting affection,
I go willingly.
It don’t bother me when you talk about the others,
my half-hearted lover,
just love me.
Sweetly,
and then leave me.
