greedy needy

 I open up the raw wounds
  time and time again
 I let the blisters fester
  and stick my finger in

  pain, pain
 come my way
  come again and again
 and stay

you look at me and pity
  a pretty lost girl
with a laugh I banish 
   you from my world

this is my zip code
this is my creed
love is not about fulfillment
  but endless need.
