Just below the surface

It saddens my heart

That i hide from you so much

All the pain and the blood

Oh how i pray for release

from the chains this world entwines

And the spark in your bloodshot eyes

If i could sever an arm or a leg for you

It still will not suffice

For my demons take many forms

And im afraid i cannot tell you apart

In loneliness the fear gorws

Like a burning in my head

It hurts so much that i reach out

To those very demons that haunt me

The twisted reality of your embrace

Fills me with your trust and devotion

But i cannot hold it in

And soon you too will be ripped apart

Oh i plea to you my sweet

That you claim my life before i claim yours

To be unloved

To be unwanted:

To love, to be loved

To hate, and be loved

Love me for who i am

And hate me for what i am not
