Bleed For You
This cold glow
This lifeless stillness
Cuts to the bone
Coming to terms
Getting a grip
On whom I’ve hurt
This wicked rush
An unsettling longing
For your forgiveness
Cloaked in your indifference
Begrudgingly you stand
As my sole witness
If I bleed for you
The way you bled for me
May these rivers run red
If my need for you
Follows me to my final hours
Release me from this dread
