Past Sheep

Inch by inch,

piece by piece,

kicking down my walls, 

you invade my sleep. 

 

1 sheep, 2 sheep,

3 sheep, 4 sheep

hiding dark secrets,

did you forget to keep? 

 

Long sumer nights

but has anything changed?

a sheep is a sheep,

all of you are the same.

 

1, 2 

3, 4

pick your favorite part,

take a little more. 

 

You devour what's accessible,

without a single thought.

You crave for the untouchable,

it fills your empty heart. 

 

And when you've had your share,

a stench fills the air.

You've left without a trace,

Mama said you didn't care. 

 

Inch by inch,

piece by piece,

You've consumed my only heart,

empty is me.

It's hard to let your guards down for someone only to feel empty again.
Great one
