...If only you would

you can't scare me off ---Because I am already afraid you can't set me aflame ---Because I've already been burned you can't derail me ---Because I'm already a run-away train you can't fuck me up ---Because I am more twisted than you'll ever know you can't make me cry ---Because I've already cried an ocean you can't rape me of my dreams ---Because I have but one to give you can't stab me in the back ---Because I have too many shanks there already you can't poison me ---Because I still feel the tingle of the asp's venom on my tongue you can't delude me ---Because I am already delusional you can't humiliate me ---Because I've already suffered enough to learn you can't attack my family ---Because they're fuckin' crazy, they'll kill you you can't set me up ---Because I've already been exploited you can't kill me ---Because I'm already dead you can't destroy what I've worked for ---Because it's already ash and rubble you can't be apathetic ---Because I could care less you can't shove me into the abyss ---Because I've already taken too many falls but You can bandage me ---because my cuts are deep You can wash my face ---because i'm covered in filth You can cleanse my soul ---because mine is coated in black soot You can sing to me ---because solitude offers only silence You can clothe me ---because i am naked in Ignorance You can kiss me ---because i would relish your lips You can show me the light ---because i live in darkness You can fill me ---because i am a void You can love me because i love you but You won't Written December 1st, 2001 © on Dec 01 2001 02:30 PM PST   0 • 8
