This was the love we shared
Tenderly like being ripped open
I pretended that you never cared
And you could not seem to leave me alone
I set you all on fire
You walked the wire
You spoke on pulpits to testify to me
And my
Love was rat poison
It made you curl up
And it made you scream
And you
You were unable to
Make me come
To make me cream

This was the love the that we had
You would slap me
And I’d make you mad
You’d throw a table
And I’d make a scene
I’d get the blow torch and you’d start to lean
Into the fire
Into the fire
And I
Was like your whiskey
And were like the drunk
And I was the Jim Beam bottle
You threw to the floor with a thunk

This was our love
Soft,
Like back seat fucking
This was the passion you burned for
Like the bishop for an altar boy
You thought I’d alter you
You thought there’s something in me
That was something like you
You spoke about all these deeds
You were never up to my speed
You never met my needs
By I thought I had to meet yours

And I
Was your confession
You whispered me into your rosary
And I was your emission
When you dreamed I caught your wasted seed
And this love
Was so nasty
It tore you up and split your shit in two
And now
Whenever you see me
Your face is red because the time that I fucked you
