Cut!

with desperate yearning
    you said
 Let Me Inside!
   you told me
    you couldn't get
      close enough
         deep enough
  you wanted to fill
        me up
   overcome me
 overwhelm me
    invade me
        completely
   not sparing a single inch
     I couldn't submit enough
       you made me beg
         you liked to watch me
           wallow in masochism
     and when it hurt
        I wouldn't 
      tell you
     didn't want to interrupt 
          the game
      wanted to keep the tape rollin'
          even during the rehearsal
     like a good geisha girl I stifled
             my screams
       and played the role to the hilt
             (the sword was deep inside me)
             (to the hilt)
             (owee! owee!)
       I never wanted to bore you
         didn't want to be
            kicked off
             the set
    I was TERRIFIED of being replaced
      I wanted to be desired like a bad thing
             and needed like the only thing
    so I wore my masks for you and danced my dance
          and averted my gaze
       from the shadows
                    on the wall...
