Viceversa

I have you present all day
Present at night as well
My unconscious steals time
To see you in my dreams again

My dreams have turned into nightmares
My longing my most faithful cruel torture

I close my eyes and fists
Then I receive your scratches
Tears before joy
Today they only flow because you hurt

I tense my body and jaw
Then I receive your bites
You are slowly draining me
You no longer do to me what you used to
Before you licked my wounds

Common sense
Today common and ordinary
More ordinary than common
And than the usual

For being foolish people applaud me today
For this I'm not going to leave you

I close my eyes and fists
Then I receive your scratches
Tears before joy
Today they only flow because you hurt

I tense my body and jaw
Then I receive your bites
You are slowly draining me
You no longer do to me what you used to
Before you licked my wounds
