The demons have overtaken,
The promises we had forsaken,
And I'm on the floor,
Tearing my locks apart!
As that invisible wound is bleeding
My unrescued heart.

Can one touch heal me,
Can just one soul feel me?
As my poems are mutilated
Into proses,
I've just a skull bearing thorns
And a mind full of roses.
