Mistress
The night is as painful as the morning
the silence cries out where noise fades
joints turn to lead,
muscles dissolve into acid
What monster are you?
Dreams are stolen by clawed hands
dragging away what was supposed to be my escape
replaced with needles, knives, and hammers
What demon conceived you?
There is no beat no melody to your madness
all you bring is pain
You cause my friends their worry
I fight for freedom in vain
In these times I think of God the most
does he watch me now?
Is my pain his doing,
Is this suffering my thorned crown?
What angel cast you off to me?
My lungs fill with fire
My eyes swell with smoke
acid boils away in my core
There is no energy left to spare,
Tell me, mistress, why you torture me
I thought I made myself clear
I need not your presence in my mind
To know that you still remain near.
