Aidan

Committed to bonds that we’ll never reach
Is it not enough to strike me
Thrash me bare?
Believe in a feeling, a beguiling touch
That chains our shattered souls together
And keeps alive a love that’s rare
“Demented” it may chill their spines
“Deranged” black out the words they whisper
Let them watch, the blood drains out
Their flesh grows white
Make them hear our cracked hearts beat as one
Shackled together, forever radiating
A lament, sung high and clear
We’ve taken a vow that seeped through our veins
That bound us tight and kept us here
I know its need not rage
What you feel when you strike me
Thrash me bare
That’s when you free my mind from its cage
My bruised heart is in your hands
Do what you wish to it
Strike it
Thrash it bare
Scratch it raw
Until it has no blood left to spill
Feel it grow swollen between your fingers
Do what you wish to it
Just don’t leave it to shrivel up and die
Strike me
Thrash me bare
