The drugs numb the pain
For a brief moment
I forget that I’m insane
Fists bleeding from self destruction
I cry out to anything listening out there
Yearning for an abduction
Eyes bleeding
Wrist screaming
My soul is tired of living
Slowly becoming unforgiving
She held my heart in her hand
Dropped it on the floor
Made me feel like a one night stand
She hissed so many lies into my ear
I thought it was love I felt
But it was fear
Fear of getting hurt
Fear of being left in the dirt
My heart would ache at night
I would call for you
And you’d be out of sight
The demons comforted me
The told me to sell my soul
If I wanted to be made whole
You were an angel craving chaos
I was a demon seeking peace
But in the end
You become the demon.
A demon dressed in white
Lurking in the night.
