Express The Distress

favor

be real with me

i don't care
if your words
are icy cold
or silkily sweet

give me the truth
because lies cut deep

i'd rather you hurt me
because coats of sugar
is poison to the body
when intaking too much

you see
what i'm telling you is

lies are lethal
the truth is damaging

and yes there's a difference

it's either

carve a scar
or slit my throat

hurt me or kill me

so do me a favor
keep me alive
because
i'm not yet ready to die
