Bleed me a river

Spiraling down where lost hearts cry, 

For love has fled, and no one knows why. 

My soul is stained with shades of gray, 

A night monster you'd rather keep at bay,

I writhe beneath this silent scream, 

You drink from my wounds like a midnight dream. 

Tell me sweetness, have you had enough? 

Has all the pain you caused unmasked my bluff?

I’ve bled out all I had to give, 

Every breath I take, I beg not to live. 

So sink your teeth, make me whole--

Then weed out this cold, lonely soul.
