This is a song I originally wrote for my band. At the time, I was thinking about Ryou and Bakura, and how in so many stories Ryou gets abused and doesn't fight back... and I figured out why that might be. This is the outcome of that thought process - see if you agree with it.
The italics represent Ryou, the normal font is Bakura. If you can think of a better title, it'd be much appreciated!

Ribs are bruised and my face hurts
But still I'll let you do it
I know that deep down you care
And this is the only way you can show it
Why don't you stop? It hurts so bad
Cries of pain go unheeded
Self-respect soon fades but the pain will die
And it makes me feel needed
I beat you 'cause I love you
I hate it when I hurt you
But it's the only way I know to let it out
Your beauty's in your pain (It's in my pain)
My suffering's the same (You hurt the same)
But there are just some things I can't explain
Chorus:
It's a fight for your life when I love you
I'm breaking you in, and the blood seeps through
It's a fight for your life when I love you
But deep down the feeling shines through
I strike again and you fall down
Why don't you try to stop it?
I know how much it hurts you
We've trapped ourselves in this pit
I break your bones and watch you bleed
Deep down it makes me feel sick
But the violence will carry on
Because I love you so dear
You beat me 'cause you love me
You hate it when you hurt me
But it's the only way you know – I'll take it all
You love to see my pain (You cry in pain)
But you just can't explain (I can't explain)
So I'll just sit and suffer once again
Chorus
It's a fight for my life when you love me
The blows rain down, and now it's plain to see…
Chorus
