Don't Be So Hard On Your Own Beauty

Currently
The sullen look on your face
Tells me you see something
More pure in me than this dirty

When I'm with you, I no longer have tainted flesh
Where violation teared my dress before you
Took me away
I could not see past this horizon line
With my dying light that's overgrown with

Thorny vines and piercing through
The only vein that's still okay
You let me cry, and wipe my eyes
And make me feel something other than
Desolated nothing

I am desperate in a nightmare
Where I'm trying to find you
In a maze, with no staircase
I'm stuck and breathless

In the backroom of a spinning hall
Dizzy, I crawl and trip down
Fall again, you pick up all my guts
Spilling out, bruised up, bloodied up

Oh
I look into your eyes and
See a bright white light and
You turn this horrible place
Into
Orange light, sunset in sight

You tell me not to
Be so hard on my own beauty
You still
Hold me even though
I'm made of fire burning through
You hold me gently, but these

Thorny vines and piercing through
The only vein that's still okay
You let me cry, and wipe my eyes
And make me feel something other than
Desolated nothing

I am desperate in a nightmare
Where I'm trying to find you
In a maze, with no staircase
I'm stuck and breathless

In the backroom of a spinning hall
Dizzy, I crawl and trip down
Fall again, you pick up all my guts
Spilling out, bruised up, bloodied up

Suddenly
Curled up
In a ball
In the bathroom floor
Unconsciously

I feel you
Shake me awake
From a bad dream
With my eyes
Open
