HURT ME III

Each time you hurt me

it hurts a little less.

I guess I get used to what you do to me

with practice.

So what I ask is this:

Do it more.

Make me feel the pain

so I'm used to it

inured to what you do

so I can take it better

like a man.

Hit me.

Hurt me.

Harm me.

Smack me

whack me

crack my bones

remind me again what it's like to be alone.

Cause me frustration

damage my dimensions

as you do so well.

Hurt me and hurt me and hurt me

so that

as you keep it up

it will hurt me less and less

and I can take more and more of you.
