Shrapnel

You cut through me
Like shards of metal
You burn my flesh
And you walk away

Whenever I see you
You tear a new hole
And you leave me smoking
All on my own

The burning steel
Passes through me
Cauterizes its own wound
As you cut me down

You shred me to ribbons
Agonizing caress
You burn me into madness
Leaving only my shell

When I'm sitting beside you
I feel only the pain
The steel inside me
Calling out your name

You torture me
Careless aggression
Killing my reason
I'm enveloped in flame

Your thoughts cut me
Your mere presence burns
You want to destroy me
Absolute will

You feel me dying
As you turn me about
You ask for a life
I give you mine
