Sick Love

Without him I struggled, just to breathe The scent of his skin, my addiction I couldn't bear the pain if he had to leave I couldn't resist the friction There were days, I considered taking my life Just to ease the pain Atop my nightstand, I kept a knife My nightgown wore a stain He had no idea of the turmoil I was in He said "we're just having fun" He took my heart out for a spin What would happen when he was done We would laugh and mock her together How stupid could I be He had my heart in a tether And next, he would do this to me I must admit, I had him fooled He believed me to be a player My personality, I had tooled I never wanted to betray her When I sliced my skin to release the pain I did it for her AND I His love had me sick and insane My soul, brittle and dry Perhaps it was him that deserved to bleed Why should I suffer alone All of this pain was derived from his greed I GROUND HIM UP, TOOTH AND BONE My new best friend has become my lover She assisted in the crime If questioned of me, I know she'll cover She too has been doused in his slime
