Opposites

i am a jumble of opposites.

i want to create and i want to destroy.

i want to live and i want to die.

i want to be happy and i want to hurt.

i want you to leave me alone, but i want you to notice me.

i want comedy, but i want tragedy.

i want you to like me, but not too much.

i want you, but i don't.

i want him, but i don't.

i want and want and want,

and i throw and throw and throw away.

i want you to leave, but i want you to stay.

would you have me any other way?

Make It Hurt

i want kisses that bruise and bite marks that last.

i want to remember this for days because i can still feel you.

i want to scratch you until you bleed because i know you enjoy it.

i want to push you and order you around.

i want it to be rough.

i want it to hurt because the hurt is so satisfying.

i want it from you because it feels almost wrong that way...

some people cut to get their fix...

i just call you...

Like a Bird in a Cage

let me out of my cage.

i am trapped here, staring after you.

i am stuck here, practically stalking you.

i only want to know you still care.

i want to know that if something happens to me,

you'll be there.

you'll worry.

you'd miss me.

i told you i'm crazy.

everyone has been warned.

hardly anyone believes me,

but you know.

i know you do.

i'm crazy like you.

i'm crazy for you.

i know why the caged bird sings.

it sings for you.

i sing for you.

and locked away,

i long for you.

and when it is free?

when i am free?

i fight for you,

i die for you.
