I'm begging you to

Avert

your

stare.

Inside of myself

Trapped

It's rushing right through my veins

And I hope that you won't see me like this…

but I know you do

I know you do.

Shame scratched

up and down the walls,

But somehow it cannot seem to stop

This

vice, suffocating

Don't look at me like this…

but I know you are.

I know you are.

This space is getting smaller

Revulsion and hurt

etched into flesh

And yet this is what I lust after

Crumbling to powder

in my hands,

Right in front of me

Don't let me die like this…

but I know you will

I know you will
