"Well I LOVE YOU!"

I know what a false hope is.
I know what to look out for.
I know when to turn away from
Those things that define a whore.

I know that lust leaves me dead.
I can clearly see when I'm unwanted.
I know these rules of society
That leave me cowering and daunted.

But though I know the consequences
And I know all the foretold hurts;
I still grovel in submission
Hoping my wishes will reassert.

Folly is this game of reality.
I know dreams are too befitting.
I just want my questions answered
Though I know what I'll be getting.

"Well I LOVE YOU!
Will you LOVE ME!
And this HURT is all but KILLING ME!

"So I scream I LOVE YOU!
Please LOVE ME!
I'd give ANYTHING to just have you SEE!

"That I LOVE YOU...
Oh, I love you...
Remember all those times we shared
Do they mean nothing new??

"So LOVE me too."
