Affection vs. Abuse


Me and you were back and forth like our words

I still haven't washed your kisses off my neck

And your embrace still hugs my body when I'm alone

The affection and abuse was a mix like no other

I can't explain how you twist my words and my mind

The same way you kiss and hold my body.

I love fashion... I love expression. I get my points across through style and poetry. I am shameless, daring, and bold.
