Testament
Testament
I forced change, spoke no words in your presence
Tried eagerly to be prettier,
I slept in a daze, I was never fully awake, fasted everyday
Nourishment never touched my lips they were sewn shut by the cruel seamstress coiled inside my bones
Only water poured a drop to satisfy my skin desperately wanting to be pure in your eyes only...........
In that time my soul grew restless
My body laid on a bed of nails to test my obedience,
I swallowed every bullet from your gun, baptized with the blood of my own,
Forced on my knees to pray and ask for my own forgiveness,
Sat alone waiting for a miracle, I crossed over to the other side hoping I would see you,
My skin hardened along with my heart, I bathed in your words,
Soaked in every sentence from your tongue but you hid the deceit
Yet after all this I still wasnβt good enough for you.
My assassin came with a cigarette smile you murdered my trust
Then, came the question I chose to hide from my mind but now I couldn't **** myself any longer
Do you love her?
