You asked me
Why I felt the way I did
What I've seen, heard and said
You ask me why I still want to live
When all I have beating within me is
A cold heart, black and dark
Bruised from your meaningless words
A broken mind, sad and disgraced
Darkened by what I thought I loved
A bleeding body, torn and dead
Stained and twisted from your touch
A shattered soul, hollow and pained
Stolen from me what I held close
Gone with it is myself, all I had left
Living in shadows, wonderful torment
Hatred curling off like smoke
My fuel for the fire of sickly human life
Putting together a puzzle that will never fit
Forcing the bonds of this never-ending cycle to break
Crimson melancholy
Drowning in the waters of my pain
To numb the touch, blind the sight
The answer is simple
To why I must claw back from the earth that binds me
The eternal sleep that grasps me
Why I die inside is because of you
