The cauldron of my soul
boils with sorrow
seasoned in spite
I was once the star of an angel's eye
I was his princess
now dethroned
Whatever happened, I do not know
Blanketed in streams of sadness
I lay
and I promised
but I disappoint myself
I look in mirrow
and I see a witch
Condemn me
burn me
despise me
spurn me
Let my spirit free
Caress my body
and feel the bullet-holes beneath your fingertips
Do not shed a tear
Do not cry
Don't stop and ask yourself
Why God? Why?
Better to hurt for a moment
than to hurt forever on
A life to be lived in sadness
is a life to never fulfill
So help me cease this disease
this disease called love
Kiss me one more time
brush the hair from my face
and unclasp my hardened leash
