Taunt me, tease me, beat me, bruise me
Everyday I delve deeper into this self-mutilation
Trapped inside the unyielding barricades of sanity
I'm an addict to this bittersweet sensation

Every day I crawl a little nearer
Each moment bleeding more
Every scar is clearer
And I'm worse off than before

He overlooks my every implication
Oblivious to every sign
Refusing to see my degree of devastation
As the wounds still shine

Every word he speaks to me
Sears all the wounds afresh
As I pray we may someday be
His existence tears at my flesh

Everytime I hear of her
I want to crawl to my death
I wish I could learn her allure
As I strain for breath

The best tale is yet to come
For he doesn't even know
And while this seems ludicrous to some
My passion continues to grow
