The Other Side

I bleed like you bleed

But I do not feed like you feed 

You take what's not given, you take what you need

You take without asking, you're a thief 

I give without reason 

You take without warning

I love without expectation 

You feed off my mourning 

My intention's pure 

While you trap and lure

I fell victim to your embrace 

Unknowing I was just another phase

Now I feel as though I bleed a different shade of red

My heart numb, thoughts spinning in my head

I reach for comfort in anything that doesn't remind me of you

A different bed, anyone's will do

I'd take a dose of anything if it promised I'd forget you 

I'd let another occupy my body, my mind, anyone will do

I'd take my own life, I'd swallow my pride

As long as I didn't have to see you on the other side
