How I Will Make You Love Me

How I Will Make You Love Me

I’d fit my laugh into your favorite shape

Force it down your throat and

Believe I've done something good

I’d fix your eyes toward the sun

Convince you to survive in the light

Disregard the smell of charred flesh

As it burns you alive

I’d pick for you every purple flower I saw and

Babble about nature's color schemes

While you watch the petals wither to black

through the monochrome lense that blinds you

I’d pull stars from each galaxy

Place them inside your pupils to

Create a new kind of astrology in which

Phenomena consisted of every word you’ve ever spoken

I’d put halo’s on the monsters that haunt you

surround your demons in a heavenly glow

So at least you'll know when they're coming.

I’d tell you my constant need to

fix you is pronounced “love” and

Happiness is only found when

Once you have made me your idol

This is the world we live in.

Shoving puzzle pieces into

places they do not fit and

Calling it “good enough”

Staring abuse in the eye

Calling it “love”
