Burden

Gripping your hands so tight
I look into you endless sight
I know what I am to you
And there's no way how you can make it untrue

I look at you once more
Before I pulled back and locked the door
I know what I am, I know what I've become
And I'm sorry for all I've done

I am your burden
The empty child left hurting
I know what I am to life
That's why I ran for the knife

I took my time
I hurt many, all my stupid crimes
I made you hurt, I made you cry
I made you weaken and look to the sky

I tripped up your recovery
I made you find out my dark discovery
I made the mistake, I took your hand
And now I've left all these words for you to understand

I am the burden
All these people I've started hurting
One more try to make it right
Against the tears, I have to close my eyes tight

Burden on your soul
This lifeless, little hole
Burden of life, burden of sin
This stupid little lie beneath your skin

Burden to breath
Burden to death
Burden to you
A burden made true

I burdened you with my tears
I burdened the heavens with my fears
I burdened poets with my pain
I burdened my friends, all done in vain

I am the burden that I have made
I am the little child who has strayed
Another burden
Yet I'm still hurting

Burden to you, burden to me
Another burden longing to be free
Burden to life, burden to death
A burden with every suffering breath

~To all those who had to sit here and read my words, who had to listen to my dreams that where shattered, to whom may ever read this and understand the burden I have been to everyone around me~
