"Bleed"

I watch from the shadows
   looking out towards your light beyond
Hoping, praying for the day that you come to take my hand
   and lead me into your world

But then I see her
   as she does her dance for you
Twisting emotions with stories and lies
   entangling and and persuading you with her spell
A tale so believable that at times even she can't remember
   the difference between her facts and her fallacies
Yet the blackness beneath still surrounds her
   and the aura stings my heart and rips me to the bone

My tears flow freely and I start to drown
   waterfalls of my emotions crashing down
I stand here naked and cold before your gaze
   With nothing to hide all that I am is at your mercy
I have shown you what lies within me
   my heart, my secrets, my weaknesses, my love
We speak of the same love you bear for me
   and we both feel our spirits call, pleading for union
Yet when she calls you turn from me
   and leave my exposed soul to the salt of my tears
And she takes you to be led through her dance again
   to be seduced by a spell of what you want to believe

If I bled for you
   would you then see the truth?
Would you hold my heart in you hands
   and comfort it and nurse it back to life
Or would you let it fall to the floor to wash it away
   like the withered petals of a rose never bloomed...
