mighty, mighty is your pain

 
I'm holding tight to my insanity
things are shifting and I'm screaming in your darkness
it fold around me when I peer too closely
your shyness frightened me
reminding me of myself

I ran away from the torture
I've been hurt this way more times than I can count
demons circle me and I realized I'm just a child in your court
you go ten rounds get knocked out and stand again
I realized I was out of my league

I duck and cover
when you needed me to knuckle down and fight with you
my terror too great I shriek to the heavens

turn back the dark!

get the fuck off him, I shout!

suddenly my light shine
I saw you bleed
I ran to your side
the most sinister of demons hover

I glare, you lie prone
a knife in your side
I grimace taking the blade and wield it in a high arc
then take your pain into me

did you feel me fade?

back to the dark where I come from
I appease the demon with my offering
I shrink back from the pain
on the altar of sacrifice is my nakedness
I surrender with one last look at you

I say I love you
then disappear
