Chase Me


You lash at me with all your will

I know your will

Trick me to put down my guard then come in for the kill

With wrathful words, the words,

That strike my heart

With a blazing anger that blurs

And vindictive, hateful slurs

That pushes us apart

You clobber and whip and scold

My very being to behold

The acrimony that brings me chills

Of your headstrong, hurtful will.

 

Bite me and fight me ‘til I’m still

You will always chase me still

Rip at my insides until I’m screaming shrill

Yet you’ll never cease ‘til inters

My bodily remains torn apart

A rage in me begins and spurs

And the hate you have to me transfers

So I can be the one to depart

From the lies you’ve made and sold

For now they’re over and old

And an abandonment must be fulfilled

So it shall be me, always me, still.

 

So with my new fire I swallow the pills

Bitter and biting and brutal pills

That weaken my mind and make me ill

My vision begins to blur

An illusion begins to start

And all my words I slur

The bitter, angry, hurt words I slur

Tongue growing taut and tart

My life begins to fold

I begin to slowly grow cold

This is what you wanted, your kill

With every color, wonderful pill.

 

And soon tears begin to spill

For you they begin to spill

For you’ve broken and shattered my very will

The Hellion being refers

My sin shall not make restart

To my sanctimony as spurs

Made realities begin to blur

Now pay price as I depart

And I break out of my mold

Everything I have sold

To my own soul, my lost will, I’d killed

And my sins and pain begin to spill.

 

I give unto thee my last farewell

And it’s true it is my last farewell

For my life, my soul I’ll put up to sell

To the Devil and all he knows

Worth the release from the pain

Burning to chase away the woes

Not a one shall sob, friend or foe

For my absence will be unknown again

So continue to fight and chase me

Soon you’ll begin to erase me

And your will to my own will quell

My very last breath for my farewell.
