Push harder
Until muscle begins to tear...

I can feel it in the cold fall air
Subtle, yet it is clearly here...

Casualties all around me
One by one they fall...

You talk to me with an air of arrogance
Like a predator on top of the food chain...

The moon shines its light upon my back,
Drowning this path in dancing shadows...

I had you for a moment
My gaze held yours as I began to speak...

Cold and wet as it drips down
Seeping and soaking deep inside...

I inherited your struggles
Weighing heavily on each shoulder...

Falling apart on this fragile ground
Your words crawl through my skin...

Shattered pieces falling from within
Heart is aching, crying out for more...

What am I doing out here?
Why are things so strange...

This pain that once burned me,
Has turned my heart to stone...
