i like the way you handle me

its cruel and its insane

but if i like it so much is it me who is to blame?

i feel as though im a crime you always will commit

take it all, i seal my lips, vow never to admit

i'll be your beaten path if you promise you wont ever stray

dig yours heels into me so as to say “i’ll always stay”

i can be your fears, your doubts, your pain, your mishaps too

anything and everything, so long as i have use

hold me tight in this cage you painted with my blood

so when my heart looks around all it sees is love

ill be your good girl always, you have me on my knees

rip me up to pieces and don't you ever utter “please”

if i can be your singing bird you keep locked up for days

i’ll sing a song so beautiful to mask all of your rage

if you can point a finger at me and start to feel release

i'll know that i am yours and i can finally be at peace

sad poetry
