Undone

The choice was mine, but all the options failed
Except his call, the sound I feared to wait
Within my room I find a way to rest
The barrels laid against my chest
The burden weighs, the burden drags
down to a point where I cannot stop my legs
they take me far, way beyond the hope
to pull me back from the slope
Chorus:
Raping a virtue to save another one and
a gaping rift that is my self-esteem undone.
Raping a virtue to save another one and
a gaping rift I call my life nailed to his gun
Now I have come, and you can see the trap
we both share with me holding the strap
I won’t excuse, I had the reasons and a mind
too young to refuse the ride
The burden weighs
The burden strains
The burden drags
beneath the rope
beyond the hope
to avoid the tracks
The burden takes
The burden stains
The burden reeks
No one to call
No one to hear
The silent shrieks
The burden weighs
The burden strains
The burden drags
It’s all the same
A losing game
Where lives become the bets
The burden talks
The burden chokes
The burden steals
Even if you find the cure
It’s not a wound that heals
