Would you still love me if you knew of all the dark disgusting things that grow in the corners of my mind? My flesh is dead, and decaying,
and I don't think it's actually mine, because if it was, surely I'd be more comfortable in it?
My heart is made of rusted steel and corroded silver, would you still love me if you knew that I barely feel? There are no veins beneath my skin, there are wiresāthey're dark blue, and they'll bruise you if you touch me, would you?
It's cold in this river, but I don't need to shiver. My lips are carved of marble, they never quiver. Maybe, I'm the moon, because I don't glow in my own light, only what I've stolen from you, only what's not mine, like you. You're not mine, I don't deserve you. You're not mine, but I want you.
It's cold out tonight, but I don't feel it, I myself am cold, and lifeless, I feel like a corpse, my body doesn't know I'm in it. My hands have no feeling, I'm losing my fingers, But my mind is still alive, and my heartbeat still lingers.
Oh, you're the sun, and the stars, and everything pretty, you smile, and you cry, I'm so sorry. Your laughter is soft as a spring breeze, you're so warm and lovely andāOh, I hope you still love me.
Please don't frown at me, please don't pity me, I don't deserve it, please don't feel for meāI don't mean it, you know that, please don't leave me.
Please. Please. Please, forgive me for what I am, make me something you can love, instead. There's a screw in the base of my neck, if you un-screw it, you can toy with me, play with the switches, pull at the wiresāmake me feel something, anything. As long as it's you, everything is fine.
If you knew of all the pain that I am, would you still love me? If you knew what I really am, would you still love me?
