Terror To be at the hands of cruelty.... To be thrown at the mercy Of those who had none.... It was my life The existence you rescued me from You are my savior Without you I am nothing As you have discreetly purloined my heart Without you, my love I would wither like a dandelion in the desert When I am with you, I am an orchid Frail, but blessed with the utmost beauty No longer am I a nagging weed... No longer a useless parasite A precious orchid You complete me You are the cherry to my sundae... You never let me fall apart Never let me be blown away by the frigid winds of life You saved that little part of me that can still feel The part that is fragile as an orchid And for that, I love you You keep me here You give me will to keep trudging through this wretched swamp we call America You saved the part of me that can still hurt The part that is as tender as a sickly orchid And for that I hate you Is this love? I want to keep the smiles, and erase the rest with a numbing pill.... Will you be my pill? I won't make it without you... I'm not as strong as you.. Not good enough for you I'm as vulnerable as an orchid in the frozen north..... Could you be my pill? ------------------ "Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage." -Billy Corgan- |
