Nymphomania

When I do it I love me
When I don't I hate me

I am beautiful lying upon my bed
Open like a flower
But I'm dirty
And I won't reach heaven
How did I go bad?
Why did I go bad? 

My curves resemble a goddess
Painted in watercolor
Worthy of museum
Then I’m nothing but a sinful woman
Slave of herself
Slave of a thought 
Thought like a parasyte

I can't stand the burning
My legs shake as if it were winter
But the atmosphere is suffocatingly warm
Like the cup of tea I forgot to drink

No matter how connected to paradise I feel
I have assimilated that I will never get there

When I do it I love me
When I don't I hate me

Immolation or freedom, quite a paradox! Nice!
