Sweet Things that Hurt

The anticipation, unsure
My mind, it spurs
She never fails to say
Such sweet things that hurt

Make it stop, she’s teasing
Let it out, I’m pleading
I can’t stand it, it’s uncanny
The warmth that grows inside me

I should just put the spark out
Before sands of disappointment fall down
Before the tides of tears sweep in
Drowning me in my emotional sins

I cannot do this anymore
The anticipation, making me unsure
When she says such sweet things that hurt
I can’t help but want all of her, more.
