Mariam Abdelghani - Controlling

Lie to me and I will look away
Tell me how to think and I will hear but not listen
Push me to the edge but do it quickly not slowly
Force pain upon me but make it physical not emotional
Scream in my ear, because I am deaf to the world around me
Say you love me but remember that I don't love you back
Break my soul but at least spare my body
Rip my flesh but do it in a way that exceeds all pain
Lock up my desires so my sins do not escape
Tie me from my hair so my mane may be tamed
Let me cry because I am selfish
Make me happy for one single day so I may live an extra day longer
Write down your thoughts and desires so I may not feel I'm the only one
But please, I beg of you, hurt me till my mind closes in on itself...
