a cycle
----------------------------------------------------------------------
words of hatred bleed red from my lips
and i am scarred from memories
that continue to hide deep within
my ears ring of silent screams
and there is no escape from this world
because the harder i resist
the more abuse i face
and there is no rest to the harm
it comes at me in packs of flies
clouds remain up above
and my skies are gray
my world has come crashing down
pouring its agony onto me
resting on my shoulders
this heavy load only mine to bear
my body dry from the leak in my eyes
and i taste your lips
for the moisture i desire
because i am so thirsty
and my appetite so great
so feed me with your love
and let the nourishment flow
forth into my veins
