What Do You See In Me?

by orange_4_m - Sagittarius

My mouth knows only fire,
It spits words that hurt like hell.
I can see they burn you badly,
But you try to take it well.

My fingers know only lightning,
They may only touch down once, but still.
If you are caught within their storm,
They are violent enough to kill.

My heart knows only baggage,
Its a suitcase filled with pain and grief.
It'll travel until it finds a place to unpack itself,
onto anyone who is listening.

My mouth, my fingers, my heart,
Only know how to bring you suffering.
Yet you stick around, 
I must be missing something,
Could you please help me understand?
What do you see in me?
