Pathetic Life

Looking at my life as an adult I can say that I grew up just fine At least for the most part But regret just seems to keep creeping up on me The ring that I’ve envisioned in my mind Just seems to disappear a bit each day Simply because I’ve lost The most important thing in my life right now I wonder why it is that I’m still able To move, to feel and see everything Because pain is the only thing left here for me At least that is how it seems now No matter how hard that I may try To love, all I seem to do is mess up So why should I even continue? My link to this world is fading Rapidly, and I don’t know how long That I can last here… To even move a little bit right now Is taking a whole lot more energy Energy that I can say Is energy that I frankly just don’t have right now This terrible feeling in my heart Is constantly stabbing at the walls The pain from within Is just too much for me to bare on my own I wonder why it is that I’m still able To move, to feel and see everything I don’t think my heart can’t take much more of this The thought of going on frightens me No matter how hard that I may try My life is just continuing to burn out So why should I exhaust myself? All that will be left behind from me Are the ashes of a pathetic Life that’s been burnt out… No matter how hard that I may try To love, all I seem to do is mess up So why should I even continue? My link to this world is fading Rapidly, and I don’t know how long That I can last here… No matter how hard that I may try My life is just continuing to burn out So why should I exhaust myself? Let the world look down upon this life Pathetic! It just burns out right here Leaving the ashes behind!
