Burnt Offering

Nothing left to save and nothing left to love
Only an empty carcass of what I used to be
All I can offer as always, as always, is me
A heart that is broken and begging to be fixed
A soul that's been shattered into a million tiny pieces
Scratching the floors as they fall one be one
Searching for someone who can piece them back
    together
Eternally with me

Pathetically I bleed so freely
Knowing the only cure is just one kiss
A passionate embrace to seal me together again
As I haven't been since I can't remember when
Living in a personal hell I designed for myself

The silence was broken when I no longer had breath
    to scream with
Choking in my quietude, growing grudgingly used to
    my solitude
Comforted by the flames licking tenderly at my flesh
Reminding me of things I have yet to truly feel
The smell of myself burning is a welcome distraction
From all the pain inside
Choking on the lies I have fed myself
Drowning in the tears I've cried

With a match held to my skin I burn and I hurt
I feel I've finally had enough
But what little choice I had became yours by chance
My god that I worship, whose hands are coated with
    my blood
The only offering I have is me
And I will burn until you deem me worthy.
