A love I lost many years ago.

Close your eyes and try to live through me 

Think of the dreams I'll never see 

You used my dreams to complete yourself 

You raped my hopes to build your wealth 

The demon I have grown to love 

Screams for me to rise above 

The demon calmly awaits his chance 

So he can end this eternal dance 

My soul needs love; my fingers seek veins 

Memories of you breed sorrow and pain 

Abused by those who say they care 

Blackened soul which cannot bear 

Another rage ridden blow of hate 

Slowly lured to my death-bed fate 

If love is my only hope of life 

My determination wills for the knife 

For love has left my heart dead 

Visions of the past now fill my head 

Love is a game with no winning side 

The one who wins is the one who dies
