A/N: Unfortunately, to view the rest of this work you'll have to look it up on AO3. This website is far too clunky and far too restrictive to keep uploading chapters here. Sorry, enjoy.

i'm going around

my hands are bound

they angrily shake

this isn't a dream, this isn't fake

he drags me away

and with that, becomes my prey

i do this for my friends,

and ignorance i do pretend

as he asks for what i cannot give -

"this torture, i will outlive,

i will grow, i will breathe

and when i take your heart, i will leave."

this is a promise, not a lie,

even as he places his hand on my thigh

"there are veins under here,

you can pretend to be feel nothing,

but i will break you, dear."
