Till it Decays

Oh, Pain of mine,

where shall I place you?

I try to run, but you

stain just like a tattoo.

~~~

So rip me open, let me bleed,

there’s things inside I can’t concede.

And the Pain, with me it stays,

so hold me, till it decays

~~~

Just like addiction,

just like the gnat.

You feed it once,

and rid it you can’t.

~~~

So rip me open, make me bleed,

there’s things inside that won’t accede.

And the grime has made its stain,

so wash me, cleanse me of the Pain.

~~~

So, tell me, Pain,

why am I your creed?

I don’t want your chains,

I don’t need your greed.

~~~

So I’ll rip me open, rid your hate,

no more can you design my fate.

And the Pain, with you it stays,

so hold me, till it decays.
