Battered Love
Your love
So toxic to me
Create a poison
I can't resist
Like the bee
To a venus fly trap
The sweet nectar
Brings it utter death
I can't stop
I love the pain
It feels good
This sick pleasure
The taste of it
My velvet tears
Lulling me to sleep
Each tireless night
The beauty of it
Like a single
Damaged rose
In the starry night
Don't leave me
the blood
Lingers on my lips
A taste of your love
The bruise lay
Within the blood
The pounding pain
Of the love we have
