Cross to Bear

by Syrus   Aug 18, 2008


This is my action,
My deed, my sin, my life gone wrong
I'll wear it like a heart on my sleeve
It was my mistake, my screw up
I crossed a line, I made misjudgments
I was pride, I was jealous, I was blind
I was everything I never want to be
I preached but never heeded my advice
I gave in when it mattered most
I was the loudest to cry wolf
I set myself up for failure
I deserted sanity for ignorance
I let a heart down and left a love to die
I watched my past day in and day out
I relived it everyday and never blinked
I watched it all in horror
I watched her cry, I watched her yell
I watched her tell me she still loved me
I watched her laugh, I watched her smile
I watched as it was all to much for her
I saw the pain, I saw the fear
I saw the hate, I saw the resentment
I saw the tears, I saw the disbelief
I saw her walk out of my life
I knew she cared, I knew she felt something
But the fear took those away
I knew she wanted trust, I knew she wanted to believe
But the fear took those away
I knew she wanted it back, I knew how she missed it
But the fear took those away
I took it for granite, I should've thought twice
I can't take back what's been blown away
I can't take back what was yesterday,
I can make do with what is though
I made myself better; I let the world know how I feel
I made sure that everyone knew where it was that I stood
But unfortunately for me I should've been this way before
I should be where I'm at now before it was to late
So now I have to make do and warn those that I can
For this is this is my action,
My deed, my sin, my life gone wrong
It was my mistake, my screw up
This is my cross to bear...
