Convexed by the destruction in my soul
I struggle to swallow once more
Say goodbye
For I won’t return to this refuge of my life with you

Get away from me
But you won’t, you won’t even turn away
Because you want me to break underneath your strength
So I will
And I will surrender
I will let you win once again

But next time will be different; I promise
After I break
And you have the benefit of seeing me cry out in pain
I will prevail

The next time arrives
And I feel the pressure
As you feed it into me

I said I’d walk out from under you
And leave you with my pain
But my feet are stuck to the ground
And you’re coming down fast, like a pendulum
Swaying closer with each swing of your silver blade

Protect me
I thought that’s why you were here
The dungeon you’ve put over me is a maze
And I cannot escape

Though I try to fight against you
You grab my wrists and sling me away

Hitting the wall I fall with a scream as the new wounds seep crimson
As my innocence shatters around me
And I am naked again in front of you

Don’t kill me now
Precious seconds dwell in a void far from me
I need an escape; an easy escape
Away from you
But I am weak and afraid

Trying to overcome my desperation
The next time you push
I push back
And I scream at you instead of because of you

The fire in your eyes erupts
As you slide your demon hands around my neck
Don’t do this to me
I hate you; I can admit that

This paradox of feelings I have for you
Diminishes in my mind
As your hands form a noose around my throat
And I can’t breathe

I’m sinking underwater
And I struggle to get to the surface
But the more I try the more I sink
Into your ceaseless torment

I cannot keep trying
And finally I give in again
But this time I do not care
I’m done trying to fight you
I give up

Torture me until I die
But I will never again let you see me cry
