Spark the neurons in my brain
and they travel down my spinal cord
until they pierce my heart and I
bleed
bleed
bleed
while you
drink
drink
drink
until you are red with wine.
Renewed by every part of my soul
you prowl around stalking new prey.
When we touched, I would forget
which limb was mine
and which was yours
and as I looked at the big picture
you could only see mismatched puzzle pieces
and now I have suffocated.
He doesn't know that when he breathes,
he breathes life into me.
I have been extinguished.

until they pierce my heart and I

while you

until you are red with wine.
Renewed by every part of my soul
you prowl around stalking new prey.
When we touched, I would forget
which limb was mine

and as I looked at the big picture
you could only see mismatched puzzle pieces
and now I have suffocated.
He doesn't know that when he breathes,
he breathes life into me.
I have been extinguished.
