Taken From my Hands

I've died inside and I've seen the end,

It's not of fire, but of you, friend,

You're my bane, you're my death,

You're the one to cause my final breath,

You've stolen one, you're trying again,

What kind of friend have you been?

I've had your back while you've stabbed mine,

Stealing her from me and you're just fine,

Your mind is narrow, your heart is hollow,

You're only here because she means to follow,

Taken from my hands when my grip was loose,

Signed the paper, tied the noose,

Brother, dear friend, I thought you cared,

Why must you forsake these tears we've shared?

Are you blind to this torture you've instilled?

I'm not just the dispenser you've willed,

For every heart you've stolen from me,

Every forgotten moment of sincerety,

Every bloody scar you've every left,

A thousand-fold you'll pay for your theft,

Open your eyes to the broken man in front of you,

See him bleed, get a fucking clue,

Realize it's me and you're holding the gun,

But you keep shooting me just for fun,

Once, twice, third times the charm,

Fourth, fifth, sixth won't do no harm,

Seventh, eighth, put your smile on straight,

Ninth, Tenth, can hardly wait,

Shoot the corpse, vent me dry,

Never again will you hear me cry,

Face-to-Face just one last time,

Bury me shallow, never caught for crime,

Take it, my happiness, right out of my hand,

Reduced me to nothing, right on your command,

The secondary consumer of my heart and soul,

Born a Demon with a single goal,

Worm into my heart, pull me high,

Watch her lift me higher, then watch me die,

See the smile wiped from my face,

You're nothing but a heartless disgrace,

Taking her hand and leading her from my grave,

Spit on the burial you so kindly gave,

A kiss six feet above my body,

Watching from below in melancholy,

A grin, a hug, back in your car,

You leave me buried, forgotten and afar,

Friend. Ha. That's a good one,

Rotting below the scorching sun,

Drive off into your lives together as a whole,

I hope you enjoy the Love that you stole.
