Dec 2010
As I sit here alone and limber
She rages inside me like burning timber
Uncontrollable and yet contained
Locked deep in my heart, bound, and chained
Lost and alone I can’t help but feel
A part of my soul, my achilles heel.

Overwhelming filled with so much passion
Confused and abused, without compassion
Plaguing my heart, consumed with aggression
To release her has become my obsession
Emptied of life, I feel like a ghost
Like a starving parasite she still clings to her host

A countless, pathetic victim of unrequited love
Star crossed lovers, set forth from above
A criminal of hope, locked forever within his cell
Drained and hollowed nothing left but shell
A slave of loneliness, despair, and sorrow
Impossible to imagine the happiness of tomorrow

The mother of my love, the killer of your heart
Her flame is what keeps me alive
Rebuilding my heart, so that one day I’ll thrive
Learning how to re-channel all of this pain
Licking my wounds and grooming my mane
Through her I’ve found new way’s of expression
My demise, I refuse to be her repression
So here she is, in full glory
Finally released, to spill my heart’s story
