Phoenix Rising
Use me; abuse me,
Don't leave your heart open,
I'll take it and break it,
Leave you bleeding and broken.
Search for my soul,
Look into my eyes.
Beyond your reflection,
I'm empty inside.
Nothing but darkness,
vast empty space,
trapped behind smiles,
and a beautiful face.
Body aching,
yearning to feel.
Your touch burning my skin,
the pain making me real.
Mistreated, misguided
screaming through the silence
that entraps me and wraps me,
entwined in the violence.
Loss of innocence
at a tender age
purity destroyed and taken away
Nothing left to give
it's all been taken
ripped away by lust
my body used; my mind awakened.
