Burden

You were so light before.

You were nothing of a burden.

You were the light, so light.

Someone that made me fly to the skies,

With airiness in your eyes.

Nothing of a heaviness that sunk me to the ground.


Now you are.

You're a burden I carry around,

A burden that weighs me down.

I don't know how to take you off.

You whsiper when I want to forget,

And you don't when I need you.


I wish I could forget.

Forget about you.

Forget about your betrayal.

Forget that you never loved me.

But a broken heart cannot forget,

About the person who teared it.


You'll stay a burden

You'll stay a heaviness

You'll stay a darkness

You'll stay a shadow

You'll stay a once lighted being

You'll stay my soul's assassin.
