Work Text:
My love has been a sacrifice
Of body, blood and tears.
And yet there is no paradise,
No rest from wicked fears.
There is no lamb to take my place,
And God hears not my softened pleas.
I do not ask for holy grace,
Nor do I ask for torture‘s ease.
Will I break from heavy chains?
The light will blind me, I‘m afraid.
Your toxic hate within my veins,
No hope or sign of friendly aid.
My human heart is now of stone,
My eyes are cold and dead.
My voice is but a quiet moan,
A living corpse on shared bed.
There is no rest for jaded,
Hurt people, just like me.
My love turned into hatred,
And reddened rage is all I see.
Thanks to you I‘ve learned,
What sacrifice is for.
All given - nothing earned.
I‘m not for others anymore.
