Slam my down, shove me around
Take out your rage upon me
I take your strikes, what could I do?
I am so powerless against you.

I plead innocence yet you won't cease fire.
My crime is that of weakness, that of desire.
Go ahead and strike at me, I can handle the pain.
The only thing I'll lose is that which I can't regain.

Crush my heart, steal my soul.
I'm so used to not being whole.
I take your strikes, where could I run?
Without you my life is over and done.

I plead innocence yet you won't cease fire.
My crime is that of weakness, that of desire.
Go ahead and strike at me, I can handle the pain.
The only thing I'll lose is that which I can't regain.

I've left roxanne speechless. I have nothing further to accomplish here.
