Love left to cook, to stew and to boil
Left out to wither, not planted in soil
Still grows in a manner not wanted by heart
And sadly and slowly it tears it apart
Gnashing and biting it rips at the core
And even so still i will beg it for more
This pain held inside is just waiting to breathe
And i can do nothing but shiver and teethe
Reaching for light it just drags me back down
Claws at my smile and pulls it to frown
Lingering over me day after day
Skulking behind me each step of the way
Hiding away will just bring it right back
Hissing and spitting the pain will attack
Cutting the lungs and burning the eyes
It takes and it takes until everything dies
Left to myself, alone and forsaken
Nothing is left when all has been taken
