I Bleed

true is my heart
that blackens with every drawing breath
that you pull from me
trying so hard to escape from you
I find my demons chasing me
from deep inside somewhere I can never be
whatever it is you want from me
anything but what I am right now
pulling back into myself
escape their clawing hands
so much pain
I can feel them cutting me
taunting me
I can't seem to break free and
I bleed

true is the soul
that resides inside this broken life
torn into pieces by you
the only thing you want from me
is everything I am
but everything that I've become
is more than you could every take from me
the blood that I shed for you
will never leave a stain
and now I find myself trapped
inside this room
all the demons at my side
coming back screaming at me
everywhere I look i see
you smiling down at me
and now I'm here
locked inside this nightmare
struggling to break the chains
that you've put around me
with every crack of the whip
that you give is that much more
of you I'll take
so much pain
I can feel you clawing me
biting me
tearing at this thing that is me
but in the end I win
when I close my eyes
and this torment is over
that you bear down all around me
all this pain you give
will finally cease to matter
and all the wounds will heal
and I will never need
anything from anyone
just a pale reminder
that when I close my eyes one last time
all the demons in my view
crash down all around me
so much pain
ended with a simple act
the one thing you can't take from me
I close my eyes and smile
and I bleed....
