Baby,
I'm just a glutton for your punishment,
for your screams of hate,
your gut-wrenching abuses that makes me feel so whole.
I'm addicted to this never-ending nightmare,
to the way it keeps me up at night
and the way it pours sweat down my back like it's nothing.
Pour me another drink,
because darling, I'm not sure I want to be sober,
and I know I don't want to wake up and see reality.
I'm just a whore, with hollow eyes and glass tears
but I'm your whore, and baby,
You said that would be enough, so it's enough for me.
It's intriguing, this metamorphosis,
it changed a broken down me,
a lifeless soul even, into a beautiful butterfly.
A butterfly that one day may fly,
telling stories of a deadly romance
and of a disgraceful girl with Mascara-stained cheeks;
of how she was made whole again.
