Muscle, Bone & Blood

I am a human being.
I’m made of muscle, bone and blood.
I’m full of awful feelings,
Self-hatred and mistrust.
I need you now to be here with me.
I cannot reach the light.
I need you now to believe in me.
I’ve been giving up the fight.
I am a selfish monster,
Cold-blooded and remote.
My words are flaming daggers.
They send you up in smoke.
I need you now to abandon me.
My heart is in a knot.
I need you now to put your hands on me.
Let’s give it one more shot.
I am a reckless woman.
I always make such a mess.
I follow my intuition
Into the vampire’s nest.
I want to change for the better,
Clean the slate, be good forever.
I am a human being.
I’m made of muscle, bone and blood.
I’m full of awesome feelings
Like unconditional love.
I want you and me together,
Faithfully and through all weather.
