Twisted life

At the core of my endless mind
Is the burden I have to bare
Lies deceit wrong doing and betrayal
They have made a home in there

If they’ll leave and go away
I can’t even tell
They feast on tears and fears and pain
And put me in a shell

And if I’m being honest here
I think they’ve got my soul
Munching at the core of me
I live a leading role.

Eye drooping nights proceed my day
And visit relentlessly
The chains and bars are bonding hope
They will not let me be

Surely I will come to terms
This is my destiny
I’ll rot and die and take with me
The life you’ve made me bleed
