Room For Rent

I opened the door to my heart,
so ****ing wide that it hit her ass...
and threw her right back 
into that bastard's arms.
 
I should have been stone,
Could have just left it alone,
but I just had to unfurl my lips
 and let my mouth bleed..
 
I always beg for punishment.
 
"Room for Rent"
                      ....stapled to 
                        my rupturing sensitivity. 
 
Why'd she take my number,
if she never wanted to fill
my vacancy?
