Witness to such agony And still, by some cruel mercy, I survive I want to know love I want to know what it costs to try It feels good He digs his fingers in till my hips jerk sharp till my breath catches in my throat till I see stars behind my eyes He bites down hard right where my neck meets my shoulder marks me purple and blue and I say harder I say don't stop I say ruin me She runs her thumb over the bruise soft as dew on clover kisses it until it stings in a different way slides her fingers in slow gentle as a secret no gasping no grit no grind just that deep steady throb that fills the quiet places and I say slower I say stay right there I say love me like I'm not broken He drives in rough makes the walls shake makes my nails cuts tracks down his back makes me cry out loud and I love it God help me I love every second of it She moves like prayer like something sacred her breath warm against my skin her voice barely a whisper I'm yours I've always been yours and I believe her more than I believe anything Witness to such agony And still, by some cruel mercy, I survive I want to know love I want to know what it costs to try It feels good Heaven Heaven Heaven Heaven has forsaken the hunger Heaven has forsaken the hunger ...it feels good.
