Burden

Witnessed my collapse Saw my downfall Struggling to find a grip I've been looking everywhere No direction Nothing to lean on I tremble in the wind Shuttered before life I've learnt to cherish the burden Well enough to become one And the choice now Is to unlearn or to die a martyr When Life Shatters Us Even further Can Not Find A grip The pain still lingers The Shards Wound Me As you slipped through my fingers When Life Shatters Us Even further Can Not Find A grip The pain still lingers Did Shards Wound You As life slipped through your fingers Is it too soon? Is it too late? How much more can I take? Will it this time be Any different? Hands too sore To hold on Unable to let go Of the chains around the bleeding heart The pain is strong My heart's wide open Are you blind enough to be hoping?
