Murder my Fire

By GirlintheBox

The guilt you should feel is weighing me down
I'll carry your load for all time
Somebody has to handle this burden
You chose to place it on me
All that you do has been undone
The world blindly letting you by
All you don't need placed at your feet
And yet you kick me aside
I'm starving for everything you have
All that you don't deserve
I'm slowly wilting, caving in
And you stomp me into the ground
My soul is but rubble, my heart dried to dust
My cries are a river of salt
You wash me away with brutality
And murder my fire inside

    I know how you feel all those who put others down aren't worth the pile of poo that you stepped in. ;) -Munkey-
