Take Me In Your Arms.
Take me in your tender arms
And nurse my bleeding soul
Let us be as one this night
Before my flesh grows old
Tall shadows of the twilight
And a heart that's black as coal
Seem to fuse in perfect union
While I'm acting out a role
Coldly playing perfect lover
Though it seems I care, I hide
And drink deeply of your waters
To quench the flames inside
Of a fire which consumes me
That burns my failing flesh
Come the end of our embrace, my fears
My nightmares start afresh
So I drown those fears in you
Now I'm drowning in the flood
Of all my false emotions
The spent semen and the blood
While I can't say I love you
I so hate to be alone
Too much time just thinking
'bout all the pain I've known
So take me in your tender arms
And nurse my bleeding soul
Let us be as one this night
Before my flesh grows old

Author's Note
Fear of loneliness, never having felt loved and not feeling love towards others.
Then trying to conquer it all through denial and carnal gratification.
