Love Lost

My sacrifices aren’t enough I still can’t win, every victory is somehow a loss in the end, I gave my heart to keep my friend, but I still keep bending, how much longer till I break, I feel like there’s always something at stake, when will I get a break? Just a chance to rest, forget about all the rest, be myself, and not be put to the test. I gotta see it for what it is I guess, I’m just another body, one of many, my heart used to be worth a pretty penny, but no longer, it’s been soaked in pain, and now it’s just oxidized copper.
