DRAINED

As the words you said shatter around me
Like a dream that crumbles before it ends
I sit in a cold sweat and fear for my love

You were angry, I pleaded don’t go…
But you went and slammed the door

From the bathroom floor I heard the engine
As you revved it up to leave
If there wasn’t such an excess of blood
I’d already be out there to stop you from going

The knife, though now lying in the sink
Still feels like it’s searing through my heart
I never meant for this to happen to us
And I only want you here to hold me
Even if that means I’ll have to sacrifice my blood
Now and then

I’d scream your name in my agony
But you cut at my throat
And the pain is overwhelming

People speak of destiny and fate
What are the two but illusion?
Although elusive, they are immanent in front of me…
As I lie naked and almost dead in my own blood
Because your hands have drained the life out of me
