Faceless Painting

Hopes of paradise to come and 
memories of a hell erased
Are all I carry with me.
I can't remember the last time I smiled
And can't forget the last time I cried,
because i cry constantly.
Laying lonely and petrified, i shiver,
recalling how you took my soul,
the last good part of me.

I remain an empty body here,
the carcass of a ravaging predator's victim,
the faceless painting of torment.
No one knows what you have done to me,
and no one would believe me if i said
it was you
who did it all...
You are a coward in my eyes
A nothing something without a conscience,

...But yet, you have made me nothing...

I regret the first time my eyes met yours,
the small talk, chatter and tonic.
I regret these bands of gold.
I am bound here by these promises,
why should I live?
I want to die because you are mine.
You two-faced monster, liar, cheater,
how can they not see what you are.

Your black eyes show to your black heart.
I find hope in the thought of revenge,
when your day will come to be tortured.
There are three reasons why i wont sink away from you.
They are young and beautiful and full of life.
I have to tell them 
not to be like you.

So hide away for a while, vicious lover,
while i untangle your hands 
from around my neck
and breathe a breath
of life so sweet.
