tender pain

chased by my own shadow
my demon has taken my skin
deceived; I can't seem to win
falling victim over again
contemplating a sour end
with the evil let out tonight

as I cry this single tear for you
washing away ike your memory
dishonesty is your only truth
tainted from all the abuse

running away from me
watching each step I take
I can no longer lead
myself to insanity
troubled deep within
and I'm tearing off my skin

destructive is this path
to myself; I can't last
tender pain simply created
to destroy this love; outdated
are the memories leading me to break
not only at the surface
but through the epidermus
and this time will be the last
