The Tainted Blood

When all of it is still but a dream and the memory keeps you longing for what you cannot have you find yourself a shell and go fade away into it.

The Tainted Blood  By Blackstrike 

 We write songs about it. 

 We dedicate a day to it. 

We tirelessly search for it. 

But in the end does the hurt make it worth the search? 

 I stand at cross roads. 

I see one leads to more toil. 

I see another leads to bitterness. 

But I cant turn away from the second. 

It tugs me to its breast. 

The coward is not the one I blame. 

They and I just could not work. 

They left me with a broken, vile heart. 

 But I blame love. 

Yes that I blame. 

Callus, empty mistress. 

She betrayed me with false promises. 

She took away my ability to think clearly. 

She is a criminal, taking us into her schemes. 

But I wont listen again to her lies. 

Romantic love is a lie. 

Someone has to save me because I cant. 

 Please do not, must not, let me chose to never love again. 

I am alone in my thoughts tonight. 

I am devastated and destroyed by the loss of one. 

 You must understand after all the pain, 

I cant see a way out. 

You know if I could just be heard and seen it wouldnt be so bad. 

You havent lived in my body and seen the lack of support I receive 

But I will keep trying to know what is true. Its all I've got.

Callus, my sweet, Come back. We have decisions to make. Time to tell. And wars to start.
