If I could tear you from my flesh
What parts of me remain
Until none of you is left
Cleanse the marrow, clear my brain
Rip the memories of desire
That seeped into my veins
An ever-raging pyre
Searing deeper, drenched in pain
That loving you, created
One sided at its best
Everything I hated
Lives here inside my chest
Abandoned and abused
Adopted as my own
In images of you
Mistrust is what you've sewn
Discarded and alone
I lie helpless in the mist
To die here on the road
Like a carcass that's been hit
Blinded by the light
Shielding the danger just behind
Disarming me of fight
And leaving me love blind
