A look, a lie, and it all takes life.
Tension so palpable
you could cut it with a knife
Talking round in circles,
Faster they seem to fly,
Accusations lead to fire,
Burning out from the inside,
He curses out in rages,
Bleeds what he won't give,
She takes his every anger,
Gives him what he needs to live.
but he's so broken hearted...
so the words they say,
Are nothing more than forgotten.
Tumble aside, against the grain,
Falling hard, she hears the pain, but doesn't feel it.
But he's so sorry, so sorry,
Never again. And again, and again…
A promise from a monster, a shadow round the bend.
Hiding in the actions that words could never mend.
But she believes it, believes it all the same,
She's come to need it, comes to love and crave the pain.
His fire becomes an ember,
And she sees it start to die,
So she stokes it just a little,
Still scared of what's inside.
Seeing this he grins, eyes gleaming.
Knowing regardless she'll end the night screaming.
Ecstasy or misery?
A line too blurred to see...
