Paranoid with blood dripping off your chin,
The fragile bones quake and you stagger forward,
A nightmare tears the beauty of your soul,
And all you see is replay, rewind, fastforward,
Your hands drenched in salt tears,
Poured silently from your ruddy eyes,
Unfocused but proud of you’re current state,
I can’t help notice as you limp blindly past.

Stained with the blood of unheard affection,
Deaf to the wild calls breaking the moonlight,
Blind from white-hot anger,
Mute to all that cross you dangerously,
Paralyzed from fear,
You strike reality’s chord with your singed fingers,
Playing off your behavior,
As a gentle game meaning no harm.

Defenseless and weak you are shrouded by clouds,
With billowy architecture and a snow-white complexion,
Unseen to the naked eye storms are brewing,
The eyelids flutter through guilt but you shrug it off,
Like the acid rain burning holes through your rugged skin,
I sit calmly anticipating your every move,
I’ve seen this movie before,
The beast and the victim,
Silent but for the screams,
The beast and the victim,
Who’s who?
