Soul Destroyer

Crying out in pain and your fingers dig deep Deep into mine so that I bleed Suddenly you let go and leave Psychotic rain that seeps Trickling down my fingertips Droplets stain my lips I hold on, now how hard he grips Your way is lost because the doctor abandons Your smile surrenders Innocence burns quickly to vengeance The worm builds under your skin and festers Eating away at your lungs and you kiss me The disease travels, feeding constantly It’s hopeless because now he’s making me see No cure but he holds the key Locked inside you and released within me Pandora’s Box among the sands Singing aura in forgotten lands Acknowledgement it demands Open it and it burns your hand Your smile has a pain that lingers Your touch like sweet splinters So seductive she shivers Burning in the sun, his icy fingers Take a trip, icy slivers Goosebumps rise in fright His love is a circle, summer’s day, a winter’s night He is the sun, holding a light that I need Cancerous, the light falls on my skin Immersing slowly, happening unseen I can’t stay away but I can’t breathe Can’t let go but it’s destroying me.
