How Far Are You Willing To Go

Location

Picked at, prodded, pushed and pawed at.

How far are you willing to go?

You cross the lines writing your words to him,

until bloody lines are written on his arm.

Nothing seems to stop you,

remorse and guilt are long gone.

Feelings of anger build up inside you.

Nothing you say and nothing you do

is ever enough for inside you.

Your words and abuse break down his life,

he feels sorrow and madness, he's numb.

How far are you willing to go?

You wake up one day to find he is gone,

the letter he left says it was all wrong. 

He wanted happiness, all he got was pain,

you know it's your fault, you're the one to blame.

You felt nothing as you buried him in words so blood red,

But now as he is buried and your tears can't be tamed.

How far are you willing to go?
