You look like me.

All ugly thoughts are
gone. I'm sure we'll all be
friends. I'll try to break your
back. You'll try to make a-
mends. Curse softly to me
baby and smother me in your

bite my tongue to speak. Zip me
down, kiss me there, I can
smile now, you won't

Hurt me baby
I flinch so when you
do. Your kisses scourge
me. Hyssop in your per-

And slave I only
use as a word to describe the
way I feel when I'm with you.
if I have to lie about it
every time I came undressed
