SHATTERED

                            Hovering at the edge of the cliff

                     I feel your breath on the back of my neck

                 You're pushing me further, watching me stumble

      You treasure the fear in my eyes and the screams of pain on my lips

  And when I fall over the edge at last, you extend your arm in evil kindness

                             For in death I am free of you

           Your whip scars my back and your words stab my heart

                   My pure innocence shattered to deadly shards

                         You're the devil, my life is your hell

                        You hold the reigns, I pull the wagon

            You drink my blood like wine as you watch me struggle

                      Bound in ropes of your hatred and sins

       You mock me as I wail, my tears trailing crimson down my cheeks

          The world is swallowed in darkness as I cower in your shadow

                 And in vain you try to break me, over and over,

                                        But you fail

                      You fail because I am already shattered

                    Shattered into a million irretrievable pieces

                              That float away in the breeze

                                     Freeing me at last
