A domain;
My humble abode in which my soul rests 
This body I've chosen 
A house - to have become my home 
Tortured But never chained up
Used But never repaired
Destroyed by its own trembling 
Unwilling fingers. 
I forced this upon them 
Destruction
Breaking a temple into ruins
For I do not respect what I have chosen to become my own
Rude awakenings pounding at the doors to my vessel
this body,
Pleading for the assistance it deserves 

Trying to part it's lips 
Releasing a distress call
But I will not allow such things 
I am not in need 
For when this body becomes burnt out 
I will abandon it 
An empty shell to be
