From My Heart To Your Grave

From My Heart To Your Grave

A Poem by Travis Prino

Peel away my flesh and show the world what I am made of

this desire burns inside me and has become my new addiction

you were just a mistake, a temporary lapse in judgement

I'd take it all back if I could but I am bound by my commitment

with this ring I here thee wed

till death do us part with my hands around your neck


it feels like rain pouring from my eyes

when I look at you and I cringe inside

it feels like poison running through my veins

when I hear your voice cause it drives me insane

it feels like blood dripping from my wrists

when you're next to me and you're touching my skin

it feels like death has come way too soon

when I think of my life since the day I said I do

so I will be the end of you


peel away my flesh and show the hate that you've created

this fire burns inside me and you're the target that it's aiming

you became a twitching in my brain to which I was defenseless

I tried my best to fight it but it overcame my senses

with this ring I here thee wed

till death do us part with your life hanging by a thread


it feels like rain pouring from my eyes

when I look at you and I cringe inside

it feels like poison running through my veins

when I hear your voice cause it drives me insane

it feels like blood dripping from my wrists

when you're next to me and you're touching my skin

it feels like death has come way too soon

when I think of my life since the day I said I do

so I will be the end of you


I'll peel away your flesh to show the world your body lifeless

it's cold and it's decaying just like I've always imagined

I was not a saint but something more like a sinner

you trusted me with my intentions and I left you rotting in the gutter

with this ring I here thee wed

till death do us part with darkness lurking ahead


it feels like rain pouring from my eyes

when I look at you and I cringe inside

it feels like poison running through my veins

when I hear your voice cause it drives me insane

it feels like blood dripping from my wrists

when you're next to me and you're touching my skin

it feels like death has come way too soon

when I think of my life since the day I said I do

so I will be the end of you


if I stay

I'll be throwing all my dreams away

if I go

I'll be leaving the only place I've called home

but if you're dead

I can have both instead


it feels like rain pouring from my eyes

when I look at you and I cringe inside

it feels like poison running through my veins

when I hear your voice cause it drives me insane

it feels like blood dripping from my wrists

when you're next to me and you're touching my skin

it feels like death has come way too soon

when I think of my life since the day I said I do

so I will be the end of you


watching as you're fading fast

watching as this breath is your last

from my heart to your grave

I am no longer a slave to you.
