Stab me with your razor eyes
Scald me with your touch
Stain me with your toxic hands
I want this pain so much

Rip me, tear me, make me bleed
Turn me inside-out
Destroy me with your dangerous love
I'm forever left in doubt

Hurt me deeply; kill my soul
Caress me with insults
Ignore me till I beg for more
Just to see results

Make me tremble, make me cry
Beat me with your love
I'll beat you back and tear you up
I'll fit you like a glove

Author's Comments

This poem was written when I fell for "the wrong type of boy". The kind of boy who would only bring me trouble and pain. But I wanted to be hurt by him. I wanted that suffering as much as I wanted him. It was twisted and painful and I still wear the scars.

Ah... how much we love the ones we can't have, even when we endure torture by their touch. Or, in our case, the lack there of. I love how I can understand your poetry, having been in the exact situations myself. It's a relief to know someone out here really and truly understands my pain. :hug: :thumbsup: :+fav:

Your imagery here is vivid and attention-getting...especially when it comes to images such as stabbing razors. You think more of razors as entities that only have the power or capacity to slit things, rather than dig deep enough to stab. Interesting that even in that line, you brought the pain and masochistic side out all the more. And even while being attention-getting in terms of vivid, it's great how you turn halfway typical, almost "well-duh" images and put them together with a certain edge. Also with the rhyme - the rhyme scheme makes the poem so damn sing-songy, it almost does show the willingness and your need for whatever pain the guy dealt to you. You reveled in it, so it seems, when others might have used darker, free/blank verse in order to portray it if they felt otherwise.

Definitely an interesting approach to a general topic. Nice work.
