a slave

he says I have to share

he says i'm not enough

my heart I now wear

like a stain on my cuff

like the pulse of my pain

relentlessly pounding

pumping through my veins

until I am drowning

but my mind is to blame

for sacrificing my soul

and truning my heart aflame

burning a hole

through my being

through my core

I don't know what I'm seeing

yet i've been here before

this isn't my first bloodfest

but its a new low for me

i'm honestly impressed

with the deprived creativity

so let my heart bleed to death

and leave me be in this hell

where I'll pay my debts

and I'll wish him well
