The devils foot soldier;
That's what you turned to be.
The one I thought that I could trust;
Confuses my memory.
You water the flower to feed the roots;
Thus only to pluck the petals.
It reminds me of how strong you are;
Strong like crimson metal.

But that metal rusts, and the flower dies after you've shed them limb by limb.
Stripping them down to their naked cores;
And exposing their deadly sins.

We're all like flowers, but don't water the roots if you'll only pluck our petals.
It'll show the ugly truth inside;
Like rusted crimson metal.

I can't help it
I lose it
I've imprisoned my soul
For you've melted my body
Turned all that I know
To paste and a shadow
Squeeze it all out of my ears
My pitied little creatures
All of my strange twisted fears
I can't seem to forget it
That hair and those eyes
They're burning my body
Caged themselves in my mind
That voice scratches my back
And not the good kind
For it's a lethal dose to ****
I guess I'm next in line
For this being comes to haunt me
Such an evil minded soul
For my heart keeps on pounding
While it's taking over control
Of all of my future
And most of my past
For the demons lie inside
I feel I might as well crash
And burn to an oblivion
Just turn this temple to dust
For there's no way to rid it
Without pain, there's no "us"

Bend me
Break me
Shatter me like stone
Hold me
Kiss me
I'm still the one that you know
Beat me
Bruise me
I love you I swear
Hug me
Keep me
You promised you'd always be there
Take me for granted
Then love me the same
Pull me so close
But I still feel the pain
See these markings are bleeding
And staining my clothes  
But I still tell myself
That you're the one that I know
You bend me
You break me
You're a powerful man
Don't hold me
Don't kiss me
Why don't you understand?
See you beat me
You bruise me
I don't love you anymore
Don't hold me
Don't keep me
But I can't run out the door
See you've trained me
You've morphed me
You have me so scared
You've pinned me
And torn me
Oh yes I'm aware
But I can't seem to leave
Although I want nothing more
I want to break all your things
And storm through that door
But I'm tired
I'm hurting
I'm scared just to breath
You have me like a pet
Crawling on my knees
You're a worthless pathetic excuse of a man
But I guess I'm the same
For I still held your hand

                                        Alysia Marie 2014 ©

I won't love you tomorrow
Not today
Not the next
Nor will I allow my heart
To beat straight from my chest

Shall another soul
Come and take me away,
It'll burn with all of the burdens
You've branded me with today

For a love is a loss
And a loss is a pace
So I'll pace myself greatly
Until the day that I face
That the winds will still kiss me
And the sun shall still hold
All the curves of my body
And the lips of my soul

Come sew buttons into my eyes, and allow me to believe all of your lies.
For the beauty of love shall seep deep within; even if perception is fogged by your sins.

Inside of your mind and body
A numbing occurs
You feel shallow

So shallow

Like a lowering tide
As if the oceans will dry up
Forcing you and the fish to choke on air

But at least you'll have something in common

                                        Alysia Marie 2014 ©

You be the beauty

And I'll be the beast

I'll try to sweep you off your feet

Tho the rolls might be reversed

I promise I won't be perverse

You're just the one I've been searching for

Watching you dance across the floor

You'll grip my hand perfectly tight

You know I only have one night

Until that rose wilts and dies

Then I'll forever be living this lie

When those petals fall to the floor

You won't love me anymore

For I'll be trapped inside of a body unkind

Washing away your blissful mind

I'll take your hand but you'll turn away

If I only had the chance to say

and prove to you the lies that have been;

The outside that this body forbids

So go be the beauty

I'll still be the beast

And when I sweep you off your feet

We'll dance until this world subsides

We wont have to worry about those lies

Even when that flower wilts away

I'll want nothing more than for you to stay

And see me for the true romancer to be

The one that steals your heart;

You'll see
