Chew Me Up, But Don't Spit Me Out

I'm easily broken but fun to put back together
Tools of destruction, tools of encouragement:
Needle and thread, glue, strings and empty hopes
I come in a box with no instructions

Take your time,
We wouldn't want a blemish
On an otherwise tarnished and stained skin
The glimmer of innocence is lost within the broken lust


Take a look at me now
Chewed up, broken bits
Dirty eyes, tainted heart
But still your favourite toy

 

Don't spit me out

I don't do well without

Someone pulling my strings

Telling me how to live

 

Chew Me Up, But Don't Spit Me Out

An empty space would remain

I would be gone without a trace

I can't make it, without torment driving me along

 

Life wouldn't be complete

Without heartache

Memories of your face

An evil glimmer gives me hope

 

It's a game we both know

With only one winner

See who crumbles first

It makes me fall even more in love with a broken boy

 

Cover me with malice

Cover me with grace

Cover me with broken words

Meant to be as sharp as a knife, meant to leave marks

 

After so much time playing this game

I can ignore them, returning the hurt

This is the tie that binds us

This is what makes us stick together

 

This broken love, filled with torment and pain

Doesn't fill me with false hopes

Keeps me on my toes

Not perfect, but perfect enough for me

 

Break me all you can

I will still want you and only you

So start the torment, enjoy the time you have

Because I will have my turn soon

Questions? --> Ask.
Basically, its a two-way hurt but still love. It's like the person likes the hurt shared between them, it makes them loved. Its hard to explain. They relish the fact they can hurt each other but still love one another.
