Come to me.

Closer.

Come as close as you can.

Open up to me.

Open.

Open up as much as you can.

Speak to me.

Speak.

Speak every loving word to me.

Claw at me.

Claw.

Claw away my very essence.

Lie to me.

Lie.

Lie in every word you say.

Ruin me.

Ruin.

Ruin my heart all over again.

Leave me.

Leave.

Leave and never hurt me again.
