Sep 2017
Twisted on the point of your knife
Bleeding from the gaping wound
Pouring out all I have to give you
Still you crush me into the ground

You burnt a hole through my heart
Consuming everything of me
Killing all hope of happy endings
I forget what it is to be free

Cut to ribbons inside and out
The scars on show for all to see
Yet because I did this to myself
I dare not ask for sympathy

Adrift on a sea of endless hate
I hate myself for accepting you
I hate you for your gift of pain
I hate this life nothing here is true

My soul is more dead than alive
Empty of all significance
I find my way to a private Hell
And now with the Devil I dance
