The sound of her tormented tears
Just breaks my heart
The sound of her pleas,her fears
Tears my soul apart
Seeing that scared look upon her face
Always makes me cry
Knowing how she longs for a comforting embrace
That inside she yearns to die
Seeing the bruises,covering from head to toe
Breaks my heart even more
Knowing she's too afraid to go
Too frightened to walk out the door
Hearing her excuses,saying he'll change
Believing,one day,the abuse will end
Telling herself,it's her,not him who's deranged
Convincing herself she doesn't need a friend
Telling herself time and time again
He's all she needs to live
Saying she loves him,and change him,she can
That she'll give him all she can give
That is she didn't always make him so mad
He wouldn't have to hit her anymore
It just makes me so sad
Knowing,he'll eventually kill her for sure
Sadly,I look at her,as she continues to cry
And my heart just aches
And knowing that I can no longer deny
What it is that really makes my heart break
Is that the girl I'm looking at,but can't really see
Thru my tears,in the mirror,is me.
Dark, She is the mind of yours.
Icy chill of thought becomes
A steely shimmer.
Behold a glimmer in the black -
A flash of grey, that even glows
In show against the hallowed dark of you.
And that is why you scream in jarring tones
'I have no heart for joy!
My white and brittle bones have died'
You cried in dark and fractured moans.
So now the Queen of Black you writhe,
Whence from dark of shade
That honed an evil form afar;
In curse of me you bade:
'I, the wave shall rape the shore!
Violence will there be in glares I'll throw
At all who prey, and more:
A dark and fetid sea I'll bleed.'
And now, the bitter tinge
And bleak of waste
That eyed the death of once your soul
Will here forever be!
Indeed you tell:
'The cramping pain is here!
Eternal spasm, infinite chasm,
The Devil's chaplain plays!
We'll climax in a tortured glee
As all my love decays.'
In the early days,
When I was filled with dreams,
You, costumed all in grey and black,
Promised something wonderful.
So I followed,
And you taught me.
You were lonely, draped in sorrow,
Alluring in your strangeness.
I was trapped,
Fascinated by your darker side.
I was addicted to your enigmatical philosophies,
When I hungered,
You fed me more.
Would I have cared if I had known then
That they were all lies?
Now I'm looking into a mirror,
My reflection just a ghost of what I was,
I know that you watch me,
Trying to remember,
To figure out which of your beliefs
Distorted me so.
I drop the mirror,
Laugh as you recoil.
It's been so long
Since I've felt anything for you.
Before you and I know it,
Shards from the mirror
Are clenched in my hands.
We both cry as my blood falls to the floor.
You reach out to me,
Needing to hold me, control me.
I hesitate, then move away.
What if I'm just another one of your lies?
Draw your razor blade across my wrist,
Watch the blood drip to the floor.
Mirrored in this red, red puddle
Are all my dreams you ever held
And crushed between your hands.
Draw your razor blade down my back,
Watch the rivers form.
Drowning in these red, red lines
Is the love you cruelly stole from me,
Dying slowly, all alone.
Draw your razor blade across my cheek,
Watch the blood slide over my lips.
Remembered in these red, red tears
Are all the kisses you gently gave me
Though brutal was everything else.
Draw your razor blade across my throat,
Watch the blood fall on my shoulders.
Thriving on this red, red death
Is you, your lips pressing softly on my pulse.
Move away when it has stopped.
