Sweet Masochism

Sad poems

I never weighed the pros and cons, I never thought this through,

I never thought I would regret the day my dreams came true,

I never thought that you would love to hurt me like you do.

I never thought I’d let you, never thought I’d want you to.



So give me back my heart because I never had yours,

You hurt me ‘cause you know you can and leave me wanting more

I was simple, I was eager and I made you feel adored

And you always have the power, ‘cause I’m nothing but a whore.



You use me

Confuse me

You know you can abuse me

Do I make you feel good?

I’m an emotion whore.



I ache for what you give me, the scraps you toss my way

Pretend that I don’t care when you call someone else’s name

I’m your dirty little secret and I fill your heart with shame

It doesn’t matter that I love you; I’m a whore just the same.



But every whore comes with her price and you’ll find mine is fairly steep

The hidden things you say and do, the secrets that I keep,

That face you wear to hurt me with, that haunts me in my sleep

I’ll show them all! Your little whore is rising from the deep.



You use me

Confuse me

You know you can abuse me

Do I make you feel good?

I’m an emotion whore.
