Tears burning my eyes
Sadness I am dwelling in
Pathetic self pity engorges my hollow trunk

Pain burns through my veins
Blistering heat needs a release
Mascara streaming down my face
No longer feeling it’s intertwining grip

No more feelings
I start to fret
Am I nothing left to this world
Memories come flooding back
Nostalgia chills me to my core

Do you are my pain
Is their a correlation

Reaching for the only constant in my dwelling on this earth
My lovely
Crimson stained with blood of yesterday

A razor blade can only relieve the pain
I wish I could find a better way
But the devil grasps me In his fiery claws

Demons chanting in my ears
Scratching through my skin
Blood seeping down my delicate bindings
Weight lifted off my soul

Sapphire greater than gold
It swirls down my skin
What a beautiful sight
If only it would happen just for tonight

The demons will crawl back through biting and clawing
Demanding my hopeless heart
Wandering through the dark
Soon they find me

And repeat this beautiful sickening story again
