Invisible Signs

Invisible Signs

I've grown convinced,
That there are signs covering my body,
That only I am incapable of seeing

Signs that read,

"Use me"
"Abuse me"
"Betray me"
"Play me"

        "Fuck. up. here."

"Hate me"
"Punish me"
"Leave me"
"Break me"

...
Why couldn't any of them say,
"Love me"?
