Burden

You wanted to see
the truth behind me
the black that attacks
climbs up my back
a shame control
of the hurt he stole
is slipping out of my grasp
can't escape my past
dreaming as a teen
of what I could have been
shaken inside
and ripped of pride
the craving for nothing
but it's always something
so much that I retrieve
a soul that bereaves
the love of a lost
beating heart at all cost
this is my burden to bare
not that anyone would care
