An ocean of passion / still waters, murky with pain
Not yet traversed by man or machine and not of this earth
The tides bite back, unwilling to be understood
Martian to most but deadly to those who witness its crimson shores
Concealed beneath the surface unmeasurable horror, suffering embodied
The beast which guards its heart made of secrets awaits its next victim
It won’t even kill you
That’s too easy, it wants you to last
It sinks teeth into your flesh
And tears at your heart ‘til you have nothing left
At the brink of expiration
Relief comes reluctantly back
When the creature retires to plan its next attack
But not for long
You’re afraid of your own darkness too, but not like me, you don’t fear like I do
And I don’t want to turn away, I only want to help you
I want to fight the monster in you but I’m afraid I might hurt you too and that’s too much to bear
I do what I do and I say what I say because I care
And still you bare your teeth / Hate still lies beneath / The cycle continues
I let you hurt me again / I let you hurt me again and again and again
Why do I let you win? Why do I let you win?
Because deep down within I know what you’re capable of
The pain you inflict is how you were taught to love
And how could I turn down love?
I’ve already learned to forgive
But I’ll never learn to forget
Either way I’m stuck by your side
And I’ll be here until I’m dead
