Crystal Endeavors

Bleed me of everything
I am nothing
The love that you're borrowing
Won't get you in
My cavern of mirrors
Is filled with angels' voices
Hate me with passion
I see rich oil colors in your emotion
Deep violet undertones
To your rage.

Leech life from my body
Tear strips off my soul
I beg you
Destroy me
Thousands of bleeding cherubs
Howl chaos into the wind
Circles in my splintered mirrors
Spirals in our tears
Tell me you love me
On the outside
Show me i'm disgusting
Within.

Drag me through sand dunes
Until I am dry
My chrysalis is quivering
Butterflies are far too welcome here
Deprive me of my solitude
For without your pain I am tortured
And with it I am worse
Leave me empty and wondering
Taint my vision
With amnesia
Yell at me for knowing
The truth.
