Victim

It appears to me

That I won’t heal

While you’re still out searching

For a soul to steal

Your tender touch

I can’t feel

I’m starting to wonder

Were we ever real?

And by the throat you take me

And you’re in my lungs, I’m dying

I’ve followed you through

The bruises and pain

You cut me down

I’ve been beaten and slaved

Well I’m just a pawn

In your belligerent game

I’m starting wonder

When will the beast be tamed

My pride is shattered

I’m submissive and weak

I’m dying

And all I need

Is a way to breathe

And I won’t fall victim to love

Around my neck

Chocked by a noose

The hope and its fibers

Are made of you

I punish myself

Knuckles black and blue

And the jaws of the lion

I’ve been bitten and chewed

I’m broken and bleeding

I can’t stitch this wound

I’m dying

And all I need

Is a way to breathe

And I won’t fall victim to love

And all I need

Is a way to breathe

And I won’t fall victim to love
