Echoes of Pain

 

Call me crazy.

Call me insane

I can take your name-calling

But I can not take the pain

 

I look to you for comfort

I look to you for escape

And now you are gone and I am left

Out in the cold dark rain

 

You held my heart

You held my soul

You left me dead

When you let go

 

I look to you for love

I look to you for silence

And now you’re gone and I am left

In the echoes of my screams

 

I see my death

When I dream

I hear your voice

When I scream

 

I look to you for torture

I look to you for pain

I look to your for thunder

I look to your for rain

 

You haunt my head

and your in my veins

Get out damn you

Go away

 

I look to you for anger

I look to you for tears

You have filled me and drained me

You have sucked me dry

 

Kill me with your eyes

Leave me dying on the floor

Alone as I was before you.

Alone I shall be evermore

 

I look to for release

I look to you for death

Kill me quickly and leave me be

Kill me quickly and take your leave.
