Snake and Dagger

A snake wrapped tight around my soul,

It squeezes, pulls me, swallows me whole.

The dagger’s cold, it cuts so deep,

I’ve learned to bleed, I’ve learned to keep.

The serpent whispers in the dark,

A deadly dance, it leaves a mark.

I clutch the blade, it’s all I’ve got,

I strike first, before I’m caught.

I don’t beg, I don’t break,

I carry every bruise that I make.

Snake and dagger, tangled tight,

I’m burning out, but I still fight.

I’ve bled for this, I’ve scarred my skin,

But I won’t stop, I won’t give in.

I wear the venom, I wear the blade,

A twisted love that won’t fade.

It’s not a choice, it’s what I know,

The scars are mine, the blood must flow.

The snake is hunger, the dagger’s pain,

I take them both, they’re mine to claim.

In every cut, I find my breath,

In every lie, I carve my death.

This battle’s mine, I stand alone,

But the snake’s my skin, the dagger’s my throne.

I don’t beg, I don’t break,

I carry every bruise that I make.

Snake and dagger, tangled tight,

I’m burning out, but I still fight.

I’ve bled for this, I’ve scarred my skin,

But I won’t stop, I won’t give in.

I wear the venom, I wear the blade,

A twisted love that won’t fade.

Every wound’s a lesson, every scar’s my friend,

I bleed to learn, I’ll bleed again.

The serpent’s grip, the dagger’s edge,

They’ve made me whole, they’ve made my pledge.

Snake and dagger, tangled tight,

I’m burning out, but I still fight.

I’ve bled for this, I’ve scarred my skin,

But I won’t stop, I won’t give in.

I wear the venom, I wear the blade,

A twisted love that won’t fade.

Snake and dagger, they’ve made me real,

A broken soul with time to heal.

I’ll stand, I’ll fight, I’ll burn the past,

In this twisted dance, I’ll make it last.
