You look at me with laughter
veiled behind your eyes
Force me to follow after
the trail of your glittering lies
I hate that I need you near me
Your presence, not my choice
Your piercing gaze that sears me
Leaves me without a voice
I yearn to be rid of this bind
and seek what my soul truly needs
But I fear what you'd have me find
And inside, my heart slowly bleeds
Why must you make me suffer so?
I wish I knew, just once to see
The inner mind, that darker soul
That delights in torturing me.
