• Be cruel to me.
    Be mean and harsh.
    Don’t let me think, don’t make me happy.
    Keep the kind words locked away.
    Never let me hear them.
    Use me until I am gone, till there is nothing left but a shell of my former self.
    Bruise and batter me into thoughtlessness.
    Do whatever you want to me, as long as you never say “I love you.”
