i'm hot

wet

come inside me

i don't like being hot anymore

i don't want to have to strip down again

please, don't make me

i'm not getting myself wet for you

                                                                               oh god

                                                                                                    i want to vomit

i feel sick and stretched thin

my body is paper

stop ripping me

your 'gentle' is my hell

stop thinking about it

i can't get the memories out of my head

sleep is my only escape

until they come to me in my dreams

you come in me

in my dreams
