Break me, dear

Kick me, trample me, crush my bones and legs 
As long as you say that you love me 

I’ll praise you, worship you, offer you my blood
So that you won’t hate me, despicable as I am

Cleave me, dissect me, share me all around 
As long as you tell me I’m really only yours 

For someone as despicable as me 
to be noticed, loved, touched, 
and broken 
by you
my cheap life gains value 

Break me, dear
Tell me that my pulverized pelvis is pretty
Tell me that my shattered shoulder is charming
Tell me that my blue bruises look beautiful 
I’ll let you break my legs again
so I’ll get to see that angelic smile again
Squeeze out my every drop of blood
for I know how much you love red 

Once we’re alone in bed
I’ll unzip my skin and let you see inside 
I’ll even let you touch, if you’ll take me as your bride 
and forever stay by my side 
If I still had a heart, I’d let you take that, too
to show how much I truly love you

Your love is stronger than my fear 
Your love dries my every tear 

Break me, dear
