He says,

I’m not trying to hurt you.

I’m just trying to see how far

I can push you

Before you push back,

Before you break into pieces.

He says,

I’m not trying to hurt you.

I just want to twist my hands around you

and see what I can do

see what you can take

before you break.

And then

I’ll take the pieces

and I’ll glue them back as I see fit

and then

you’ll be mine.

You’ll be mine.
