my love

My love is like a red red leech,
I’ll suck from you whatever I need:
I need you, I depend on you, I can’t live without you, if you should go away
--Parasite love.

My love is like a branding iron,
My name displaces yours by fire:
You’re mine forever, you belong to me, I take you for my --
--Possessive love.

My love is like an infant thumb,
Tto soothe my selfish desire I come:
I want you, I want you, I want you
--Pubescent love.

My love is like an infant thumb
My love is like a branding iron
My love is like a red red leech
--My love.
