Reptile

Hold my heart in your cold clenched fist and squeeze until you bleed me dry Take what you will of my life force and leave the pain behind You would take it all from me and only leave my suffering Why not take my hope, you demon, you are welcome to that now You, my idol You, my teacher You, my laughter You, my crying You, my daybreak You, my sunset You, my living You, my dying Twist the threads much tighter and to you my last breath will belong You will know my broken form will honour you forevermore I would give my life to you, my dreams, my talents are forgotten What a trophy to inscribe beside the ones who've gone before Lace your kiss with cyanide and plant it when I contradict you Razor-sharp are fingernails that trace a line to yielding pulse Shower me with useless gifts, I'll drown in insincerity Lover, take your love away and use it on yourself
