Feel

yes he swore to love forever
but then never saw the red of blood
until he felt the cold steel
cut into him like nothingness itself
a love that lingered on and on
i don't care what they said about me
i cared what you felt about me
life has come this way turned my way
so she walked away in honesty
but my rapture all just fell to pieces
and my world was destroyed
cos of the way i had become this time

the sharp knife found arteries
tasted the tang of bitter blood spilled
gave me the pain the suffering
i swear i heard the voice of my jesus
but it was all too late this time
it was too late to save this man's blood
as it dripped red on the carpet
the life ebbed away in vain at 2.20 am
again and again i stabbed away
it left crimson trails slithering down
overcome by this helplessness
lifted another drink, cigarette and knife

slicing away this broken shell
cutting into the inner core until he cried
shivering with cold and shock
suffering the pain caused a hundredfold
plunging depths unkown to man
loving to a degree that ill becomes death
feeling the iron taste of blood
falling in my own eyes into the abyss
remembering the cold dread
believing that this indeed was the end
watching the red streaks
loving a love that was not nearly enough
