Walk Away

I walk away from the happiness that could
She asks why
I bite my lip tighter
I clinch the blade a bit harder
Pain will remind me never to turn back
To trust is to give in
And like a snake she will slither in and take whats mine
The thing that makes me, what I am
As wild as a phoenix
As loving as the sun
The things she sees in my eyes as she loses herself in them
Why does her evil ways feel so good
Her luscious lips scorning my flesh with every kiss
Her touch leaving scars to show for years
The feeling of being with her unbearable
Yet if I leave I'll die
The need for her drug
But the disgust of this poison she feeds
This love coursing through my veins
Burning to spread
I die to keep you inside
The tragedy of love so bittersweet
