Personal Sin

The thousandth time rerun The crying The apologies The unspoken regret Yet you stood Like a statue of marble Your eyes quiet So shut down from emotion So ruined by what you felt Just an empty shell She stood screaming at your face The one that never left The one that had your back No matter what was ahead The one, no matter how many times You broke her into unfixable pieces, Came back, trying to be sure That you would make it Taking no regard for herself How many times did she quietly Begged for you to come back Not the emotionless monster you've become But the rugged angel That saved her from her own hell She stood Her body convusing from tears You just turned and walked away She tried to explain You didn't listen, She spoke in vain She never wanted more Than just the person you were She just wanted someone To love and miss her unconditionally Of how badly she had fallen How scared and broken she was She stood speaking fact to you She told you exactly You didn't listen You turned your head and shut down She was trying to protect you Didn't you see? That's all she wanted Was someone to protect To be protected To clouded to say no You tore her once more A I love you note Before heinous deed Didn't you feel guilty? Not even a bit? She gave everything she possibly could Just to not be put on the shelf again But pride clouded your mind And she was placed right at the back The person who never left The person who chose to not see what you lack She got tired And decided it was time to stand Time to shy her face away From the evil heart breaking anger within her So with some words said And Some words left To fester within She ended it She ended her personal sin
