It's a painful stretch to re-loving 

Gargoyles in clusters clutch at my heart 
Talons pierced and locked wings wrapped upon layers
Pulling each one away takes insufferable self violence 
Just to clear a small space to let you through 
Too many years of inequity
have placed needs burning in my heart  
you struggle to relinquish your control,
Your gift of consideration is noted.
Your changes have exceeded my expectations 
Though we are nowhere near even.
Still, I play it peachy, 
Your tenderness, your keeness to please me
Is unnerving, 
too little,  too late
Your heart whispers squeal like whistles in the hunt 
Unsettling the watchdog beasts 
Growling and snarling
Clawing tighter at the leather pith of a stone heart 
Your own needs are barking 
Your expectations are going to be laid,
I'm letting blood Before your debt is even paid 
It's going to be different this time...
Claws tighten, wings gripping tighter 
Artehoke heart,
just another set up 
I keep anticipating the fall.
I go on pretending in the hope It will become real 
Your darkness permeates 
your dark love kills
Still there's something about you 

I can't live without.

It's a painful stretch to re-loving 

Gargoyles in clusters clutch at my heart 

Talons pierced and locked wings wrapped upon layers

Pulling each one away takes insufferable self violence 

Just to clear a small space to let you through 

Too many years of inequity

 have placed needs burning in my heart  

you struggle to relinquish your control,

Your gift of consideration is noted.

Your changes have exceeded my expectations 

Though we are nowhere near even.

Still, I play it peachy, 

Your tenderness, your keeness to please me

Is unnerving, too little,  too late

Your heart whispers squeal like whistles in the hunt 

Unsettling the watchdog beasts 

Clawing tighter at the leather pith of a stone heart 

Your own needs are barking 

Your expectations are going to be laid,

Before my debt is even paid I'm letting blood 

It's going to be different this time...

Claws tighten, wings gripping tighter 

Artehoke heart,

the  just another set up 

I cant keep from anticipating the fall.

I go on pretending in the hope It will become real 

Your darkness permeates 

your dark love kills

But there's something about you 

I can't live without.
