Please leave me be
For I know that I'll never be enough
For what you seek
Don't use those shining eyes
To look at me or lure me in
For I can see straight through those lies
You burned me once
And I know that's once enough
I do not want your touch
I know love is not
What you want from me
So stop sinking your teeth
Please leave me be
For I can do better
Than a beast

Though phantoms may be howling at the edges of my mind
Ripping away gobs of flesh until my soul lies exposed
Rotting off my skull, hanging loose from my tired bones
Whilst the terrifying multitude of my unseen fear
Hath become like the vile, gnashing teeth of night's Reaper
As I bare witness to the demons rising and writhing
Within the silver pool of my own lean, haunted reflection
Yet I cannot turn away; Even in my darkest hour
I must summon the courage to stay; For this is my reckoning.
