Platinum

Shave that skin off
Let the blood surface
Let the skin find a new layer
Let the blood heal.

Rip the insides out
Let the outside seep in
Let the walls crumble
Let the world be one.

Walk up to you
Look you in the eye
And not ask the heavy question of “why?”
Stretch out my hand
Wait for you to take it
And seal the end with the exchange of the platinum bands.

Kick your beliefs
Let them bleed
Let them shudder with last breaths
Let them find a new life in death.

Spit in your face
Let you reel in shock and disappointment
Let you wince
Let you remain unconvinced.

Got a few things to say to you
Got a few somethings to hurl at you
Got a few promises to throw at you
Got a few lessons to fire at you.

Given is nothing
Taken is all.
Believed is nothing
Revoked is all.

Here we stand, platinum bound
The way we started it all
Is the way we'll end it all.

Belittled is the monster
Glorified is the weakling.
Murdered is the future
Reborn is a new past.

Here we are,
You and I
Separate
On the path of a platinum beginning.
