Devoured
Seeping memories that all await to be devoured
Pouring through the sound of this acid shower
Blood is iching, my skin is starting to crawl
Eyes are wide open as my body seemingly falls.
Twist, bend, turn and conform into my worst fear
The fear of waking up and not finding you near.
You beat beside my heart, though I hear shouts
of protest that breath inside of me; in and out.
The past burns and bleeds deep within my gut
Though I try and play is as though I don't give a fuck
Nails digging reflexively into my skull, I can't breathe
God, have you any idea what they've all done to me?
Take it all away as I throw my hands up toward the sky
Tears glisten with an untold joy as I scream and cry;
You see them cascade down my face, you brush them away
It helps me more than you know; I make it through another day.
I've crashed and burned before, but I won't ever again
Not with the feeling of your skin interlacing in my hand.
I can flash a rare smile now with a bit more feeling
Just to know you're standing there right beside me.
