"Precious For The Pain"

How this body aches
Pain down to the bone
Flesh that burns like fire
The worst I've ever known

Rising from this bed
Just not easy anymore
Can't bear another day
My heart lays on the floor

Each day it gets to me
A nightmare of its own
And only just a girl
I wasn't even grown

He took me by the hand
Stared down at my eyes
Led me to my room
Love came but in disguise

Deceived by my own sire
My purity soon was gone
Stained with spots of red
I became his pawn

This monster of a man
Once had a heart so tame
Tormented every night
Submitted me to shame

Secrets in my soul
Contained for many years
The horror that I saw
Always in the tears

The woman I am now
As I rise up from my bed
Pain and flesh of fire
I rid it from my head

Time turned into a friend
Took all those memories
Faded them like denim
Softened this disease

Dark Angel, do not weep for me
For I am precious for the pain
Blind faith will set me free
From the nightmares I refrain
I will exit from this weeping room
Close the door and forget the gloom
Dark Angel, don not cry in vain
For I am precious for the pain
