self destructive behavior
Invite you in to not feel so empty
If only for a moment
Because what else is there to offer
Besides a warm body
For you to find release
When my heart is cold and broken?
Your fingers graze my skin
And I feel nothing.
Crushed by the weight of your body
And crushed by my own expectations
Yet I still feel nothing.
Surrounded by sharp breaths, quiet moans,
Wandering hands and nervous glances
Why can't I feel something?
My body moves with yours,
Almost without thought or question.
But I've found myself here before,
Wishing for the ending.
My body has always been the place
That men come for distraction.
So treat me well or use me up,
The honest truth is…
I probably won't know the difference
And I will still feel nothing.
