“Tested Flesh”
In my face a smiling blade
It tells me to stay
It tells me to bleed
As my agony spreads across the floor
Alone I weep
Alone I ache
Slowly it rides up my torso
Slowly it tears
Slowly it plows
The seeds of fear it tries to plant
Inside my heart
Inside my soul
From a distance I hear
A lone plea
A lone peer
They tell me it will fade
It will, the pain
It will, the bleeding
As I reject the temptation of flesh
It burns in me
It makes me bleed
The voice now close it's hand on my shoulder
Holding me warm
Holding me firm
The waves recede and he is still with me
Through the dark
Through the night
Left behind is the scar of the knife
Not to forget
Not to take light
