Afflicting

There is just something about your presence
That is toxicant
You corrupt my daily thought process
So that when I see you
You’re all I see
Your intentions are viperous
Your touch anesthetizes malady for a while
Then I realize you are malady in itself
But I cannot control my desire for your enmity
I want you to love me because
I want you to hurt me
For without misery love cannot suffice
And without love misery is platitudinous
Salvage me from these chains you hold over me
Liberate me from this trend of falling for libertines
But don’t surrender your aim of fire just yet
For I do not mind being passion’s martyr
