smother me
with your warmth
bury me
in your coldness

touch me
just touch me
i don't care how much
it could hurt

your skin is what i crave
and my heart needs to be fed
without you in my arms
i'd much rather be dead

startled by the songs
you made my heart sing
and yet now it is all
my lungs have learned to breathe

shame me
make me feel dirty
i want you to use me
'til i am nothing but empty

desperation's my middle name
and if you ask the men before you
they'd say the same
