Take my love away

I scream, silent images void of life.

You listen, only to the empty voice.

I cry, lonely tastes of a lost kiss.

You laugh, at my pleas to hold you.



Where have you gone to in my dreams,

is this the end or the silence before the start?

Vividly painted in white as red covers my soul,

eyes broken in blind hearts of love.

Spilling aimless wanderer so forgotten,

waxing the moon in all thoughts painfully felt.

I see nothing but the finish line you made me cross,

touched by wings of devils laughing in my face.

How do I let go without ever holding on,

doesn’t this feel like a little more than a dream?

Walls built strong so weak my arms are,

failing at failure disgusted within my cries.

Tearing down only to be buried by bricks,

covered in black, torn by your heart.

Knowledge falls sway to this storm crashing flames,

means to an end breaking my walls down for your touch.

Burn me if you feel the need I enjoy your pain,

abuse me with a kiss so deadly I feel so alive.

Hold me down take my breath away,

kill me with your love, that’s all I want.

I never lived before you, never felt this way,

I would rather die in your love than live without you.

Take me from this heaven, damn me in your fire,

all that felt good before is nothing compared to your touch.

Sitting here alone in your shadow’s light begging for more,

hurt me, force me, make me do what you want, I will.
