The Sacrifice

You should certainly dam your words
As the hypocrisy comes seeping through
The most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard
Borderline violence, absurd
A rude awakening, false clarity
Redefining yourself for eternity

More than you can take
Such a sacrifice
To extend a hand, to offer solace
More than you can take
More than you can hear
Ringing in my ears, penetrating this heart

Negativity prevails in an era of hopelessness
I’m sending out an S.O.S.
But self-consumed, you fail to reciprocate
It’s always more than you can take
Such a burden to ease this weight
It’s always more than you can take

More than I can take
I made my sacrifice
Did I not give my all to you?  Did I not?
More than I can take
I never want to hear
The ringing in my ears
Penetrating this heart…

Words that pierce my side like arrows
Songs that sing out loud from sorrow
Friendships seeds unsown lie soured
In fields fallow.
