I want you to feel the way I do (the dress)

I want you to feel the way I do: There's barbed wire wrapped all around my head and my skin grates on my flesh from the inside. How can you be so comfortable only 5" to the left of me? I don't want to hear myself think, feel myself move. It's not that I want to be numb, I want to slip under your skin: I will listen for the sound you hear, feed on your thought, wear your clothes.
Now I have your attitude and you're not comfortable anymore.
Making them yours, you relieved me of my opinions, habits, impulses. I should be grateful but instead... you're beginning to irritate me: I am not going to live with myself inside your body, and I would rather practise being new on someone else.
