Medusa

Your gaze turns me to stone - while you´re talking

You look very alone - while we´re walking

You´ve been torn apart - and badly sewn back together

You have a Frankenstein heart - you past is your tether

He took off your head and nailed it to his shield, Made you his bounty, his crest to wield

He cut off what had been your life before and your wounds stay sore -

It´s not every night anymore in the small hours that you wake up and count your pills

there are blissful moments when you almost forget - moments - and then the pain comes back

So you were laughing too loud - So you were dancing too hard

So you were showing desire - So you were available -

What's left of you walks and talks And daily brushes its teeth

You're a sore empty chrysalis Scared of what you need

I know I can't help. The scars will not heal.

I walk beside you and we both try not to feel

And then The pain Comes back
