Burdens

Stood in doubt and lecture

You took too long

To watch it unfold

Losing faith in measures taken

Now all you carry are the lies you hold

To see it out

You've grown so cold

Your fallacies

Have called you home

Grieving days of simple pleasures

Now bound to the weight

Of the cost to live

The burdens to hold the hand of a stranger

Never gave you the hope to betray an early grave

Desires high to become the void

Now bound to the weight

Of what you've lost within
