Not Me, Not Anymore

Smile at me
Show me your crooked fangs
Your acidic tongue
Slithering around my neck
Like a python
Poised and ready for the kill
Show me
Your naked empty soul
Intertwine it with mine
Decaying me from within
Cut me
Carve your being
Into my bleeding heart
Look at me
Your eyes
Stab me like daggers
Ghostly scars of you
Still left
After all your wrong-doings
Dance with me
This ghostly dance of death
Killing me a little more each day
Step by step
Waltzing me
Into the devil's pit
As I try to let go
Try to break free
Your grip tightens
Like a vice
Holding me to your body
You squeeze bloody tears from my eyes
Finally I manage
To break away from you
Ripping the flesh
Away from my battered spirit
Running away from you
Forever free
Of your torment and pain
Pain
That had held me captive for so long
Now
Sitting on a bench
Drenched in rain
I look out on my life
And know
Someone is out there
Who can help me
Save myself
From myself
Because deep down
I really do
Love me
And this demon inside of me
I've been speaking of
Is the one that's dying now
Not me
Not anymore
