Take Control

Take me to bed
Make me yours
Show me your darker
Side.
Forget the world around us
Just you  me and 
The night.

Tell me your deepest secrets
Tell me your darkest 
desire
Take control of my
Body
Set the night on
Fire.

Dint be careful darling
I'm not going to
Break
Because what's the point
I'm pleasure
Without a little
Pain?

Woe

Floating. Alone in the darkness.
The water beneath me cold and unforgiving.
My breath calm and steady but my heart races regardless.

I just want to sink
but my body remains.
I close my eyes tightly
feel the cold like a knife
piercing my veins.

How did I get here
in the middle of a war?
One against myself
what was it for?

Hands reaching up
holding me steady
but now the weight of my past
proves a little too heavy.

I take a deep breath then
let it all go.

Finally I'm released.
Finally.
I'm free from this woe.

Behind The Collar

They hide in plain sight,
Smile and wave
But then comes the night
And the smiles go away
Out comes the grin
From the devil himself
Stifled cries and prayers unheard
Until the clock strikes twelve

They wear their collars like a disguise
They're doing "gods work"
In the dark if the night
But god isn't there
This is not what he asked
Yet they hide their evil
behind this mask

Again and again
It happens again
Nobody to stop
The unending pain
A children's home not filled with love
But filled with evil hiding behind god 
A lie
And the lie goes on
