Reckless as you are, it is me you discard
Volatile and charged, here to leave your mark


Stop and test these grounds
Where you rest your feet
Build a nest in me

Planting seeds while I sleep

Dragging me along, in zealous pursuit

Pulling me through you, draining me of my fruit

Claws you sink in deep, claim what you have come to seek

All the while I starve, for your need to feed

Look at me if you can

I am torn, derailed
Once content, now I've failed
Forgotten, alone, and frail


Now you're done I salvage, my pride once gone
Scent has faded and your traces worn

But I fail to understand who I was when I let you in
