Too Close For Comfort

My lifeblood ran careless through channels made for it
Beating with pulses both measured and true
'Til heartache decided to pay me a visit
Through all those unfaithful, hated, and rued

Death came to greet me in faces unnumbered
I portioned my lifeblood out unwittingly
And each face that promised a bond in repayment
Vanished without warning, most permanently

They've drained me of Being, those miserable wretches
Killing me in the most passive of ways
I feel me and my netherworld spirit self meshing
As all of my fragments are fading away

My insides are drying, peeling, and dying
Gone is the warmth that I once felt within me
Now I am finding there's no hope in trying
I release you, my chains, to now die and be free
