keep the knife and my leash

angered words
say what you must
get it all out
please
please hurt me
i'm left open like this
so stab me
just hurt me
but not like this
stab and twist
don't walk away and leave
do something physical
something i can point to and say
"this was from her because i wasn't the best"
physically missing things just won't do
smack me
slap me
even when you know you have my attention
whatever helps you feel better
without leaving me be
for forever
while i still stay caught in this tension
my muscles are flexed
everything is tight
if i flinch the slightest
you'll think i'm too weak for a fight
i'm prepared for one
if that's what is needed
just tell me now you might want me
even though i'll be defeated

even if my throat is tight all the time
or my eyes well up
i'll pretend i'm fine
whatever you want
whatever you'd like
in a second's notice i'll try to bring you that life.
