Pretend Lover

You're the spider, pretend lover,

Dye me pink when my blood runs dark.

Paint red my cheeks that slowly hollow;

Drink me, neglect me, tear me apart.


String my wrists up where your illusion

can make-believe his full control,

You're webbed so deep into delusion

you've made saints of what sinners brought.


Here you play house with ceilings burning,

cat-and-mouse to where it's found no more,

your sense of self and your sense of loving

have warped and wrapped and worn your core.
