I am a monster,

A black creation of Death.

I can devour life

With a single breath.

But it's okay,

Because I don't have anything left of my heart to break.

If I'm all that remains,

That is just another thing to take.

I drown countless times in my own despair,

Clawing at my own throat,

Too many scars to care.

Every night I'll have to cry myself to sleep.

Even if you beg me to draw your blood with my thorns,

Killing you would be like killing me.

I'm dropping into the pit of eternal oblivion,

Where nothing but black is seen.

I am the core of the curse,

I can't bear myself to ask.

You can break me all you want,

But all you will do is scratch my steel mask.

I'll take on your pain if that means you live once again,

Even if you hate me for what I am.

When you have everything taken from you,

You live on the best you can.

Again, I find myself falling deeper into the pit to eternal nothing.

Could you change a horrible freak like me,

And turn me into something?

My answer comes when you turn your back to me,

As I watch you disappear.

Even though I'm blinded by blurring tears,

Your reply is crystal clear.

I still cant bear to ask

For anyone to help.

No matter what I try

Watching you reject me makes me cry.

I am a monster,

A black creation of Death.

I can devour life

With a single breath.

But it's okay,

Because I don't have anything left of my heart to break.

If I'm all that remains,

That is just another thing to take.

I am suffocating on my own ugly scent,

Wanting to feel something beat in my chest.

Losing you wasn't like losing anyone from before...

Because you were the only thing I had left...
