You win

Z simmons 1989



You win, I give up. I'm tired of playing by the rules in this war, the next time we dance you won't see the horns til its too late, won't feel the flames til you are burning. I give up, you took it all, you took my happiness and destroyed my love, I give up, why did you turn on me when I was trying to be better,  and leave naught but darkness, I give up, the demon calls and I tire of turning away, I give up, my anger will rise and the hatred will burn, I give up, I may lose the war, but I will have my pound of flesh, I give up
