Battered Love

Your love
So toxic to me
Create a poison
I can't resist

Like the bee
To a venus fly trap
The sweet nectar
Brings it utter death

I can't stop
I love the pain
It feels good
This sick pleasure

The taste of it
My velvet tears
Lulling me to sleep
Each tireless night

The beauty of it 
Like a single
Damaged rose
In the starry night

Don't leave me
the blood
Lingers on my lips
A taste of your love

The bruise lay
Within the blood
The pounding pain
Of the love we have
