It was through a wood of broken trees
Bleeding hearts pumped at me
I wandered through and did not care
Near the edge of forest I saw you there

Clothed only in beauty in a pool of red
I bit my fingers, by lust was led
Into your ***** and between your legs
I built an image inside my head

Desperate to love to be free of searching
I made me love you to quiet my yearning
My feelings sat quiet and filled me up
But pain came swift and abrupt

Inside my stomach you settled black
Cold dark woman how you attacked
With ease of conscience, with little thought
It was a hard earned lesson I was taught

I put my stock in my own lies
Told to myself was my demise
I never saw you I never knew
I built an image that was untrue

Out of the pool and into desert
I carried blackness heavy and desperate
I wept for you and for myself
Tried to put my feelings on a shelf

To lock them away and chain them up
To shield myself but without luck
From memory I cannot hide
I hear you see you in my mind

Now and then I feel regret
Blows like hammers in my bed
Waking me from dreams of you
I try to sleep in solitude

You hurt me woman, you hurt me bad
Now this pain is mine to hold and have
To pull along all the way
To my last breath to my last day
