Heavy

I watched as they grinned
Their backs were all turned
To the truth left unspoken
And the bridges I burned
Paused in a standstill
This image ingrained
In the backs of their minds
In infamy chained
Didn’t want to be bitter
And I tried to save face
But these liars and cheats
Are all over the place
Using words as a weapon
Just a means to an end
To use and abuse you
Yet call you a friend
All ties have been severed
Glass bonds that I broke
And the poison resulting
Could cause one to choke
I watched it all burn
Leaving nothing but grime
Cutting each filthy person
Out one at a time
No footprints to trace
Or whereabouts to chart
Every beautiful face
Boasts a hideous heart
They live as they wish
Parasites through and through
Giving rise to the demons
Within me and you
I’ve been just as guilty
With blood on each hand
Seized up by the moment
And bearing the brand
Twisted and disgusted
Completely entwined
Perpetrator yet hostage
And a slave to my mind
I dont ask forgiveness
Nor can I accept
The notions or sentiments
That I never kept
Hurt people hurt people
It is said and rings true
Not absolved of my crimes
So I’ll give me to you
Slouched on a pedastal
Rest assured it does tilt
I hold tight to a past
That’s weighed down with my guilt
It’s the price that I choose
And I pay as I go
Financed through my lifetime
You reap what you sowe
