I Don't Expect Much
You've taken that away
Even with your touch
I'm begging you to stay

Your hand across my face
As I'm leaving you behind
I'm crying with every trace
Of your pretending to be kind

I'm sure you'll never know
What you've truly done to me
As I'm trying not to show
How inside you've made me bleed

I continue to hand you
The knife to cut my chest
Begging you to plunge it in
And finish off the rest

Pleading for you to complete
The job you once started
To cease my aching pain
That's worsened since we parted

You finally grant my wish
I'm bleeding under the stars
As the last of life drains out of me
Slamming closed like iron bars
