in the night you come creeping
in the dark you come to call
in my innocence i trust you
with my trust so high i will fall
in the dark you feel my body
in the night you feed your flesh
in my mind i swim far into the deep
to drown the truth, the love, the wish
in the night your scent hangs heavy
in the dark your sex envelops as you leave
in my stained bed i turn to blackness
when the knob turns as you go

you
kiss me
tease me
possess me
i
scar myself
scare myself
sacrifice myself
to you

• • • • •

 
i do not know why i go on and keep playing
your words used to heal now they sear
your denial keeps you blameless
with her beaten on smile
i am your twitching puppet
you can not touch me anymore
i am a shadow in the black
i am the echo of the closing door
love's not always something you're looking for
no one has ever come back for me
they took what they could and left
