Self-Harm

11/6/18

Why do I still fucking

Fantasize about you

When I know

You’re about to tear me apart?

Maybe I’m a masochist.

But maybe I should have

Made that connection when

You clasped a hand

‘Round my throat

On our first date,

Before you even kissed me,

And my knees were

Weaker than I ever cared admit,

Even to you.

Remind me to stay away

From men like you

Who I can never

Seem to resist falling for

As hard as they are

Liable to strike me.
