The words slip from my bleeding tongue

As razors erase the pain and torment

That had settled deep within my bones

As I brought to light

In your painstaking presence

Your depravity and wickedness

Upon my fragile soul

But alas, my heart is no longer made of glass

It bears the coating of a diamond

That with one toss into your facade

It will leave scratches upon your windows

And shatter the glass house

Of your lecherous and hedonistic

Conquests

Be ready to bleed

As my tongue dances alongside yours

And the falling shards rain down

Like a tempestuous lightning storm

Striking the ground here and there

Illuminating your demons

And setting me free in a blaze

Of iridescent fire
