Burden
I see you tried to run from me.
Make ruin with lost integrity.
For my cries are slain demons that were left to you.
A mockery of why your mercy is cruel.
Why leave you defiled in such denial?
Addicted to a sadness in order to abstain from the smiles.
All that was left wasn't there.
Because In the deepest woes,you only hoped to care.
Inside of the light in the fallen.
Truly outside the dark of those calling.
I grow vain to leave you drained.
It must be such a pain!
Come see a difference where we are all the same.
Now go blind!
Everyday you look away from here,keep your regrets.
Because you have yet to hear from this proposition.
If I pull you out,you'll drag me in.
Give me a loss you had to win.
One day you're going to redeem yourself.
Destined to put the past behind you.
Yet put the future beside you.
The present is ahead of your time already.
So don't cry.
It is undefined,so said a late truth.
