Love Licks:

How can you hold me with those same hands
That do stain my skin with fresh bruises,
And then turn around the next moment
Telling me your sorry for your abusion.

My ears they hear all your plans for us
But my eyes they see your very actions,
And though you have my poor heart fooled
My conscience doesn't feel the same attraction.

For years I've lived only on your lies
While you lived only on your addiction,
I guess that's why I'm so full of pain
Because all your feelings appear science fiction.

For everyday we seem to drift further apart
Except for when your aggression is present,
And after you've had your way with me
I'm left to suffer and cry solely in your torment.

But right now I'll hide all your love licks
Because I'm so scared to even look their way,
For I know it's the price I must pay
To keep you around and make you stay.

One day real soon when I'm much stronger
Than I'll ever be at this point in time,
When my broken heart and body is smarter
I'll have the courage to rethink this heart of mine.
