He says I have to share He says I’m not enough My heart I now wear Like a stain on my cuff Like the pulse of my pain Relentlessly pounding Pumping through my veins Until I am drowning But my mind is to blame For sacrificing my soul My heart now a flame Burning a hole Through my being Through my core All my life's meaning Means nothing anymore But this isn't my first bloodfest Though it is a new low for me The stains on my dress Embue my dignity So let me bleed to death Leave me be in this hell Where I'll pay my debts And I'll wish him well
