Take It Back

Kill me now
And bleed my body
Take your poison back
Rape me now without a sound
And fill me with the life I lack

I do not sleep or breathe or dream
Am I lying dead?
It seems that all this time
This world-it’s been imagined in my head

All I have ever known is the taste of venom
That which kills me every night
Taking my last breath with tears
Only to awake unto another light

But with light I see no new day
Just a repeat in different shades
Agonizing hours
Always ending with a blade

Kill me now
Kill me now
Take your poison back
Look through my eyes and into my days
And feel the life I lack
