What if I was poison?
Would you still taste me?
Absinthe, demerol & hemlock
killing you from the inside
What if I was a liar?
Would you still trust me?
forked tongue, twisted mind
you'll never know the real me
What if I was diseased?
Would you still fuck me?
you can't tell from the outside
One part pleasure, 10 parts pain
What if I was evil?
Would you still follow me?
through the dark alleys
& into this abandoned warehouse?
What if I was broke?
Would you still need me?
empty room on a folding chair
eating baked beans from a can
What if I was ugly?
Would you still want me?
grotesque, pock-marked albino
maybe this isn't a mask
What if I was sadistic?
Would you still listen to me?
scratching, biting, clawing
just another plaything
What if I was contagious?
Would you still hold me?
fever, nausea, hallucinations
you're starting to feel it too
What if I was numb inside?
Would you still love me?
hate, passion, rage, yearning
things that I'll never feel
What if I was dying?
Would you still nurse me?
shallow breathing and faint pulse
maybe not worth saving
