The sound is so quiet
Yet it blocks out all else I can hear
Maybe I've gone deaf
To match the rest of my mistakes
The moth is attracted to the flame
Beauty so fragile
Her last desire burning her
What is that?
Asking for more than I needed
Wanting more than I wanted
Tear myself apart
It's what I wanted in the beginning…
By being so blind
Did I see the end?
Running away on bloody feet
Only because of fear
Cowering within myself
Being the strength I needed
Only to push it away
This is nothing more than the prison I created
Barbed wire spikes laced in ecstasy
What more could I ask for?
This torture is my release…
Honesty, chastity, purity
Three reasons I gave you to break me
Break my legs so I can't escape
Sew my lips together to bleed no lies
Rip open my fragile heart with your teeth
It's nothing more than I asked for
If I cry one more time
Would you drown me, choke me, beat me?
Silence me with your sweetest sin
The trees are so much greener now
The sparrow makes her nest…
But I will never forget
The hurt and pain I caused myself
Ripping the flesh off of my bones
Because I couldn't predict it
I had no answers to the questions I had
But I will never forget the winter…
