Muscle, Bone & Blood - Mia Doi Todd

I am a human being.

I’m made of muscle, bone and blood.

I’m full of awful feelings,

Self-hatred and mistrust.

I need you now to be here with me.

I cannot reach the light.

I need you now to believe in me.

I’ve been giving up the fight.

I am a selfish monster,

Cold-blooded and remote.

My words are flaming daggers.

They send you up in smoke.

I need you now to abandon me.

My heart is in a knot.

I need you now to put your hands on me.

Let’s give it one more shot.

I am a reckless woman.

I always make such a mess.

I follow my intuition

Into the vampire’s nest.

I want to change for the better,

Clean the slate, be good forever.

I am a human being.

I’m made of muscle, bone and blood.

I’m full of awesome feelings

Like unconditional love.

I want you and me together,

Faithfully and through all weather.
