Empty

What a betch,
leaving me to be caught!
Am I an irritating itch
even though it was me she sought?

Begging, she came to me,
wanting me to go too.
You don't want to see,
the fault is on you.

Making me commit,
through all my complaints.
I couldn't go through with it,
for it is not my heart she taints.

Wrecking my life,
day upon week.
Bleeding with strife,
But I cannot be weak!

Persevering through my pain,
trying to keep my pride.
I go on in vain,
slackening my stride.

I should understand,
this life being mine.
My brain is turning bland,
I used to be in line.

My time is running low,
this is my last chance.
I could take this final blow,
ending your victory dance.

Alas, I am stuck,
I will keep going.
Now, I'm out of luck,
your pace is never slowing.

Finally, we are done,
but you don't stop.
I'm surrounded, but alone,
my souls about to drop.

Too far our sentence,
but now you leave me.
Waiting for my penance,
through my tears I can't see.

In my cell,
now I think.
You took me to Hall,
but my heart won't shrink!
