I love you
These words are nothing but pure
Nothing but true
Genuine
Exact
Real

Do you love me?
When you yell
When you're violent
Do you ever,
Love me,
At all?

I will earn your love
I will slave away
I have before, I will again
Slave
Blame
Guilt

Father let me earn your love
Say words that please you
Work hard, be perfect
Be a slave for your love

Mother let me earn your love
Do things that please you
Take care of them, and stay true to you
Be a slave for your love

Let your porcelain doll be your puppet
Puppeteer me how you like
All I want in return, is whispers of your love
Displays of your affection, even if just small ones

I can paint over my bruises, no one need know
I can brush through my matted hair, I'll keep your secret my puppeteers
I will sew my severed limbs, I'll keep my pale lips shut
I can glue my cracks, it's only broken glass

See how much I love you?
Please
Do you ever,
Love me,
At all?
