The Blood of Passion

I don't need to hide in shame
I have no fear to be known
Free to think and feel as I please
My soul belongs to me, it's mine... alone

I'll write the thoughts as they come
I don't care what eyes might read
I see the truth all around me
I'll take off the band-aid and let myself... bleed

Trapped in the promise of forever
Just the thought, suffocates my breath
I fall in the trance of predictable
Insanely struggling to escape my... death

Motionless I sit in darkness
I've learned not to feel, not a thing
Hardened I'm cold and I'm dormant
No longer a person, now just a... thing

Through the shadows of his own being
A light escapes from within
Shines so bright it blinds me with clarity
The truth that will lead me to... sin

His hands rip into my flesh
He digs deeper and grasps onto my soul
He pulls it to his lips and he tastes me
His whispers erase all self... control

He walks through my mind with his words
And he leaves his writing on my wall
I want you, Your mine, Your beautiful
I love you, I miss you, please...call

The hands that grasp my neck now ease
I feel the release and gasp out loud
I run to escape any relapse
From the dead love, that to me was... vowed

I fall into the arms that sway
Unsure of where I might land
Eyes closed so the world won't see
They open too soon, and are stung with... sand

I try to cleanse my soul from the evil
I feel Satan he's under my skin
Planting himself in my dark places
Taking over me with a hypnotic...grin

A rush of cold chills my veins
As thoughts swarm through my head
A promised love of forever
Exchanged for hands that are now stained... red

I reverse the puzzle, piece by piece
Unravelled, it all makes sense
So clear becomes the picture
Emotions echo through my mind so... intense

Reality snaps back, I awaken
No longer on the verge of death
My soul now bleeds out passion
So my inspiration is now laid to...rest
