The Sacrifice

Tortured lovers
With a twisted fate
Alone in their suffering
But together in their shame
She's violated and neglected
Troubled, and hurt

Ignored lovers in paradise lost
Stuck halfway between agony
And halfway between bliss
He's vacant and hollow
And never really there

They are so in love
Contagious
Spreading the infection
Poisoning one another
Misery loves company

She feeds on his emotions
Trying to fill up her emptiness
He lets her hit rock bottom
Before he picks her up

Forgotten lovers
Half a world apart
Basking in each other's brokenness
Trying not to feel alone

Dying lovers
Together, in each other's arms
Doomed and sacrificial
They must pay the price
