The Sonnet of Sacrifice

Daniel Patty

I am cold but I am sweating
Nothing is as it was
Trying hard, but getting nothing
Evil is as evil does
Lovers stare into their eyes
I see the abiss
I am caught up in my own lies
Dieing for a kiss
Alone and bleeding in the wind
I drink the cancer whole
Doing this for love of them
I am willing to sell my soul
All I've done was wasted time
Let me die for all your crimes
