Rejected

by Craig Risi   Dec 21, 2006


The knives within me dig deeper
Everyday that I persist in my love
And the hurt grows more and more
Every moment that I continue to give
For my heart is a slave for others sorrows
And my body a tool for others benefit
Sympathy and love I yearn to give each day
Meant to bring me strong feelings of happiness
Only, all I seem to receive is hurt
No one seems to really love me
Yet, hindered I am to love all I see
So, I payback my loan steadily each day
However, repayment never comes back to me
So I stumble and fall into destitution
All I have, I gave away in love
The spoils of a life, which had everything
Now left with a scar of emptiness
No longer want to continuously give
Lonely I remain, sin creeping in my heart
So I descend further from grace
Continuing to live my life with such undertone
I just wish that I could take my pains
And wash them away in a better place

    ...Very cool...the words could be more...powerful but overall the emotion was excellent. Some vivid imagery. It helped create the sadness and just a cool thing about it that nicely tied together.
