Sandpaper Love

you got that sandpaper love.

that scratch scratch

that right below my back that

i cant ever seem to reach

sucking my blood, similar to a leech

its leaving marks that wont ever seem to cease

its creating thick scabs that wont ever seem to flee

you give me this sandpaper love.

the burning agony through layers of my skin

and u tell me this is where the pain will begin

i ask how is this love and u start to grin

you sicken me with sadness, you poison me with the hype

you take me through darkness and never show me a light

my skin is falling off, I'm losing sanity and patience and all

my entire body bruised from rubbing it against the wall

i don't want this sandpaper love, get it off me

and i finally look in the mirror to see

i'm polished and clean and free

i now understand and i'm thankful to you and the powers that be..
