Empty

This lonely road is bordered with the silhouettes
Of the faces that guided me to this depression
The shadow creeps up my legs and consumes my body
Intimidated by your temptations
Drawn weak by your hate
So to rid myself of this ache
I rip my heart out and squeeze it empty
Love isn't something that comes easy
It takes trust
Time and forgiveness, all I am willing to give
Love is worth the greatest sacrifice
Your heart given to another
That is why it is the heart beat of life
So I carve regret on my head
Let my blood run dry
Then my tears seem to be attempting to wash me clean
But it only smears the blood
I was afraid, so I sacrificed everything
When it should have all been given to another
And that is why I no longer have any reason to celebrate
My heart it should have been in the hands of another
