Tell me you love me

Original Submission by Kavistha Goordeen

Tell me you love me…

Tell me you love me and I’ll sing you a song

With me, you have found somewhere to belong

I will put you on a pedestal, up high on a cloud

But once you are up, the only way now is down

Tell me you love me and I’ll mesh into your life

I’ll be perfect on paper, if you be my wife

Tend to my needs and all my selfish desires

You will drown trying to put out these fires

Tell me you love me, I crave your attention

My friend and enemy, my biggest protection

Turn away everyone, you can only pick me

You are mine. You will never be free

Tell me you love me and what is it you need

I will take everything from you, fueling my greed

You are lucky to be chosen, you were never good enough

With or without me, the road ahead is rough

Tell me you love me and tell everyone that too

Your body isn’t bleeding, your face isn’t blue

Bow down to me, I want to hear your heart break

It’s too late now, you can’t fix this mistake

Tell me you love me and that you will never leave

No one else loves you, it’s me you should believe

You want to see evil? Watch my eyes turn black

You are who I made you, don’t ever look back

Tell me you love me, while you perish inside

You will always come back for we now have a child

I love my hands around your neck, stealing your breath

You gave me life, let me show you death
