Strip me naked and lay me open
Whip my torso and scar my flesh
Torture will not render me broken
I fear not the cold grasp of death
In the mist of darkness I reach out groping
You refuse to guide my steps
Submerged in your ocean I struggle, chocking
You abandoned me to the depths
Spending my nights in this lonely coffin
That once was a home, now stifles breath
As your specter haunts my caverns with passion glowing
I hold on dearly to the lingering touch of your caress
