An Exhaustive Search

Toxic

You say venomous words
Meant to seep past my skin,
But that makes me love you more,
And this game all the more fun.

You punch me in the mouth.
I scream for a few seconds,
But contrary to your expectations,
I press my lips against yours.

You run away from me,
And the distance you put up
Makes me laugh because
You're only delaying the inevitable.

Just when you think you lost me,
I find you sitting against the wall
With your head buried between
Your legs as you shake in place.

I gently pull you up,
And by the time I have
You wrapped around my arms,
You return the favor.

I tell you that I'll give you
The life you always wanted
As long as you accept me
To be your future spouse.
