Lamb

Do you like the feel of your hands, wrapped around my throat

Looking into my eyes with disdain, as you choke away my hope

Do you wish to stain my coat, a deep and glossy red

Will it give you waves of pleasure, knowing that i am dead

Do you like to lead me through your field, happily to my demise

Does it give you comfort in your core, the sadness in my eyes

Do you enjoy hurting those around you, who are trusting or who are meek

Or is it only me, here and now, because in your eyes, i appear weak

Well, you will not lead me to slaughter, not even in my mind

Im not your sacrificial lamb, no I'm not, not this time.
