Guilt

Can you withstand the pressure of  guilt that lays upon my clumsy tongue, every poisoned word I may speak or have spoken
Do you have the flashlight to help me see through clouded thoughts anchored in my conscience: spreading
unending
until burning my vision... I won’t ever Yield to them with you by my side
You’ve sewn me together with blood impersonating the happy smile you give to put me at ease trying to perfect the cure whilst still in demand

I’ve fractured you, smashed reality burdening your fragile nature, I tried to reel in the rope you so dearly held for life with my own sins and just to stay ahold you split yourself, left behind what you could so you’d make it out alive

little did I know I only keep making the rope thin out
Thinner than the fine line of ice we parade upon
Slow dancing our way into the middle with sluggish feet

Eventually we crack, the facade becomes nothing less than a movie cliche, but it’s what we love, we fall for it every time

The same way I fall for you, I watch you try your hardest to bring me warmth in a storm without me ever showing the slightest bit of gratitude I never mean to be so selfish

Could you ever forgive the man that lets you battle demons by yourself
dumps you into the eye of the storm where your nightmares lay and chooses to abandon his saviour because he’s to weak to face his own

A man whose to self-centred to count casualties but still keeps the score
