Within You..

Shadows dance along your wall
I close my eyes to see them all
I listen close to hear them speak
A deafening scream inside of me

What have you trapped within this place
Silhouettes of demons with absence of face
A funeral set as you lie here dying
Refusing to breathe between your crying

The faint scent of fire,
Chill on my skin
Paralyzed from movement
Excitement of SiN
No light in this darkness
Flashes of death
A clenching of fists
Upon my breast

What Hell have you created
Blackened Fortress of your mind..
That I now lie here beneath you
Absence of struggle within these binds

Where was the moment
That your chill upon my skin
Became too familiarly
A form of comforting

Where was the line
I walked over blindly
Eyes fixated on you
Games to make you find me

Suffocated willingly
Shall I hold my breath for you?
Bound and held at my will
To do with me as you wish to do

Blinded without question
One needle or Two?
Are my eyes pretty when they bleed?
No need for sight to See what I see

Steal away my past Offenses
Relinquish me from my defenses
Submerge Yourself within my soul
Till my skin no longer senses

I could not escape
Even if I wanted to

No need to be found..
Now that I am lost…
Within You
