Pain

Swallowed up
Bleeding dry
Beating heart
Begins to die

Pain like 
stabbing 
Tearing 
Burning

Love like fire 
Heart is yearning 

Kiss of passion
Hint of Lust
Angry 
Vicious 
Violent 
Touch

Crying harder
Silent screams
Words of torment
No one means

Eyes are black
Lips are bloody
Body's wasted
Torn and muddy

Soul deprived 
Mind depleted 
Information
No one needed

Life worn down
Hearts asunder
Makes the mind
Begin to wonder

If swallowed up 
And bleeding dry
The beating heart
Should truly die
