Because my heart I wear on my sleeve Exposed, helpless, visible for all to see. Each hope of new love, Every dream of a happy ending Naked in a crowd of leeches Watching, waiting for their chance To bleed it dry of every emotion, To **** away the desires of a pure soul.

Blinding my reasoning with every embrace Every kiss filled with the poison of deceit Your touch leaves me paralyzed, empty Left with a unquenchable thirst in a desert of lies. Left with nothing but an unfillable void A Black Whole devouring every vision of fate or hope Desperatley wanting to believe every syllable
