I never was fast enough to outrun you,
I can still feel your claws in my ankles,
Like chains,
that I'm trying to cut through,
But I'm left tangled,
The pain beating through my veins.
I think I've gone insane,
Where is my brain?
Look at how I've grown,
Into this hurricane.

Funny that?
You wind up a dog,
And it bites.

I place my hand on my chest,
Because my heart was the last thing you touched,
Before you left.
I never want to lose the feel of your touch,
Trying to burn this feeling into my skin,
I let you win.
I know you took all the summers with you,
So I'll wrap myself in the bleak winters,
And wait for your return.

I never wanted to let you go

Why do I feel shame for what I sold,
And you feel none for what you bought?

Would it be alright?
If I was to fall in love with you

I think I have been sad for so long,
That I don't know how to be anything else.

It's funny how I thought you were helping me to breathe,
When all you were doing was choking me.
And now that I've set myself free,
You say you don't understand why I had to leave,
And paint me as the beast.
Well everyone can see through your deceit.
Was my body just yours to feast?
Were these always were your intentions?
Or was it somewhere across the lines,
When your love that used to shine,
Became redefined,
And intertwined,
With something,
More serpentine.
