Affectionate Sacrifice
You must have felt lucky
when I chose you
because I made it seem
that I felt lucky too
even though the luck I felt
wasn't the same luck as you
I still pretended
I didn't want to discourage
you away from me
because I needed you
to be there for me totally
I needed you to give me your all
but making sure you felt
like it was your idea all along
you became my pet
but the roles reversed
when the pet took care of the master
everything I said or did to you
prompted you to respond
in such a way that not a single
verb was really all you
I remember the first time we went to bed
I felt all the lust coarsing through my head
The feeling wasn't mutual
You loved me
I didn't love you
and I never intended too
Cause why give when you can always get
I was starving for affection
my heart was made of sand
and you were just a face to me
something I could use and abuse
then throw away
because after I sucked you dry of all that you could give
what use would you be to me
if I let you stay?
