Deveined
It all started with an ember
A tiny whisper, a slow fire
The beginning blaze
Of just one gaze
Would leave me forever changed
Started off so good
You stood by me so long
So fatefully fingered
Such a calloused little angler
You've become
And so my power wanes but you don't care
Leave the growing stains from the wounds you make
Eating out my hollowed remains
And pouring out all I've restrained
Not pleading doubt
I'm bleeding now
Can't stand this drain
Just void and deveined
What once was right
Is a fight, is a curse
The screaming abuse
And a shortened fuse
Is all we have to lose
Ended up so bad
You've left me now so fast
So fatally handled
Blistered and battled
You are
And so my power wanes, you just don't care
Leave the growing stains from your piercing hate
Carving out my hollowed remains
And raining out all I've restrained
My pleading shout
I'm just bleeding out
Can't stand this drain
Just void and deveined
Can't stand this drain
You've left me insane
I'm void and deveined
