the faces have no name
but i know them by their intimate touch
caressing me in my hour of darkness
unseen but shuddering through my senses
the grip of electric wires
held us in a burning noose
and we shook with wonder in the face of death
will you be my salvation?
or is that glitter in your eyes
meant for something else?

it hardly matters what do to me
tell me you love me and take it away
tie me to your side with chains of affection
lock me up in the backyard shed
rape my mind until i say yes
use me till I'm faded and worn
kill me softly with a smile
rip me apart at leasure
bury me reains in the recesses of your memory
but don't pretend you didn't enjoy it

through it all i know
life is bright red in my veins
its beautiful how it stains your hands
in last nights patterns
you might have been holding the gun
but you cannot kill me any more than
you can control your own life
the deeper you dig you will find
i was broken long before you came
but i never stopped laughing

my life has no meaning
but i redefined my sense of time
to embrace endless hours
of laying in your cold arms
entertaining fantasies of
genuine affection in your eyes
when you leave tonight
i don't expect a backward glance
because you never had a chance
when it came to my heart

we part in mutual satisfaction
taking our moans with us
exchanging secret smiles that
won't remember the color of your eyes
lingering until the door creaks shut
the draft hugs your fingerprints
throbbing invisible on my skin
and for a second i pretend
this elation can last a lifetime
but in the end i know
your just another nameless face
