The Desire...

By: Stephanie L. Homann

The cuts on my neck
The bruises on my face
Hidden beneath the makeup
Revealing no trace

Veiled by a mask
And a smile they all see
But only you know my desires
My identity

chorus: I cannot touch the water
My skin is on fire
My wounds are burning
Like revenges desire

Am I addicted to your touch?
Am I addicted to the pain?

I have no more tears
And if you raise your hand again
I will not cry
My eyes are broken

chorus: I cannot touch the water
My skin is on fire
My wounds are burning
Like revenges desire

I thought I needed you
I thought I loved you
I thought I could help you
But no one can help you

I cannot forgive you
I cannot live with the thought of being alone with you
I thought anything was better than being alone
But I realize anything is better than being with you

chorus: I cannot touch the water
My skin is on fire
My wounds are burning
Like revenges desire

I do not need you
