Tearing at my cold purple skin
Are your shattered fingernails
From your years of inevitable sin.
The touch of you is like atrocious scales.

Cringing at the vocalization
And the utterance of your heartbreak.
I am a prisoner to violent affection
And each day my time you take.

Dress me up like your doll
And paint me down like a Van Gough.
But everyone knows the truth written on the wall
And I am just a counterfeit you've sold.

Do I dare break free from the shower of darkness
And the pure hatred you've brewed inside?
You call me baby girl, but you lie before you confess.
On the line is your thick and unruly pride.

Strands of red highlight my hair
And lines of liquid are in my soul.
The moment you caught me I was not prepared
For the life under a bridge as your pet troll.

Wild and untamed is the mind you possess.
Love is what you use to describe this blasphemy,
And soft words you use to caress.
But that is okay—

I guess—

Because you love me.
