Annika
Mankind can create and thrive in all but discipline
And none adheres to the call like you
Lips flap as aimless chatter sounds
Traps snap shut in the middle of a step
'Maybe later'
As my bleeding heart prepares to leak unto the floor
'I have more important things to do'
As I am crucified for your sacrifices
Cast aside for personal interest
Dismissed and left for dead
Do you not realize when neglect has reared its ugly head?
Or is that just another tether to snap
To amplify your grooming
With one soul left behid
Egoism makes poor company
The clique of unsavory tension
Interruption
Ignorance
Arrogance
Can you not see each oozing wound you leave me behind?
Where my soul reaches out, yours turns away
'I don't have time for this'
As I carry every burden you rest upon my stack
While yours consists of self-serving luxuries and contributions from those
Whose tainted tiers rise higher than that of soulful blood
Year after year after eternal year rest upon my shoulders
Settled in the deepest corners of my heart
And no more pain could someone feel
Than watching you fade away
