This girl likes danger

Deep breath then I exhale

and reach out to grab hold of the lion's tail.  

Mauled by your words leaving me bare,

the sting of your claws could have fixed it all.

I swear.          

Digging them in deeper, as you drag me down a beaten path.

Just another victim; snatched up by a savage.                                                                  

I am your rag doll; a play thing.

Don't you feel victorious?

I brought this upon myself, you know?

This is that of which I am notorious for, I'm sure.   

  Fuck.

I'm in love.

Not that I was falling,

it was actually more like a shove.        

 Ring around the wildfire; I smile.

That moment burning, like a strong desire.                                    

Together we're running, recklessly into a forest(we're exploring)

laying me down on the ground so softly.

I can tell you practiced this a thousand times before,

and I know I couldn't want you anymore.

NO, I shouldn't want you anymore.

 Like an infection spreading; it's making me sick.

Pinning me down, with a feeling I can't explain.

I sit, ashamed, like an ignorant child(thinking I could tame the wild?)        

I'm strutting with the bruises, cuts, and scars.

Wearing them like a badge of honor, from fighting all the wars with you. 

 And I'll run, always looking towards the sun.

Exposed to all the things in life that: make or break me; shake and awaken me.

So, you see it's a battle not so easily won, but it's fun(like playing Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun).                    

Like the tragedies of history's fallen kings;

I hang up my crown and the pain has retired.

I realize I am home now.
