Words of Loveless

I hold my breath, feeling the blade pierce my chest Letting out a muffled cry from my blood red lips Whimpers of pain echo about this dark damp room Blood runs down my breasts like small trickling streams I fall to my shaky knees, crying blood of hurt Your words are a blade, killing my heart The burning betrayal of your loving lyrics Just finish me off, throw me into oblivion If I've lost you, I've lost all purpose You were my blood, keeping me alive I wrap my unstable fingers around the steel hilt Pulling, I cry out pathetically, fighting death Your words shallow into meaningless turmoil Did you only mean to hurt me? Kill me? 'I hate you' is as if saying to me 'Die'
