Your love is my knife
Define yourself in music and movies
Allow no others in or out of your soul
Keep yourself cloistered in your own mind
The world you see is not the world you know
The red splatters on the bathroom floor are my rubies
See how it makes a destructive rose
The pain of a self-inflicted cut is nothing
A reminder: emotion in check, never shows
The stars drip from our eyes
The hesitance of loneliness and sorrow
The angels weep at your touch
Will you still be mine tomorrow
There is poison in your kiss,
The knife hurts me less though
I will content myself with roses from rubies
The rubies that steal the pain I want to show
I wish I knew how
You could map my scars out so deeply
Am I a path you can explore
Or just a road you already know completely
The truth is simple and complex
And once started you cannot help follow
The girl you loved, the sinner gone
And the broken china doll is hollow
The whirlwind romance we started
The heaven of pure dreamlike stated
Only our loving words
Our hellish passion is dissipated
I fear the rose and the pain
That comes from your heart
More so I fear the way
It cannot hold a candle to our start
The gift of the rain makes me feel
The gentle cooling touch
That God damned rain that soaks me through
That hides my tears so much
I hate my world so pure and clean
More than I hate the roses blooming from my wrist
I love that shining blade
Only you know exactly how to twist
The destruction completed as angels cry out in disgust
I scream my hate, my love, into an empty flask
I love my demons as I love yours
I've amputated the rose at last
Do not cry or pretend you see fault
When I find your kind of love abusive
I chose this path and I walk it knowing
The pain is mine exclusive
