On The Sleeve Of Abandonment Poem by Poetic Crisis

How long can you take this? Gripping tighter on the sleeve,
You let them walk over you, As if to say,
You belong so low, Oh god the ignorance,
So now your on your knees, Attempting to step aside,
From the eyes of hurt, And this pain led life,
How black this heart, The heart we begin to pierce,
To prove you can still feel, Even if you're paled out,
It's like the lie we feed, To the friends we keep,

I'll remove my shell, When i'm ready,
Did we fall in love, With the ambitious side?
We forget we breath, But we're not ready to die,
Did we fall in love, With the indecency of everyone?

So tempting this extra hand, And yet you still fold,
Paper weights weighing you down, Soaked in gasoline,
Dance with the burning heart, The glow lights up our nights,
Spinning webs to hold, It's holding our dreams,
Yet it all seems like lies, Holding your heart down,
The piercing glance we take, From the blackest heart,
Although the pale feeds, We feel it every minute,
All the friends we keep, Have helped to build this lie,

I'll remove my shell, When i'm ready,
Did we fall in love, With the ambitious side?
We forget we breath, But we're not ready to die,
Did we fall in love, With the indecency of everyone?

We hold the world as god and god is holding us down,
Falling asleep at night to all these familiar sounds,
Sounds of screams, Sounds of tears, Sounds like she just hit the ground,
This simple fraud has made us believe it's the reason that you've stuck around,
We took what you gave, We gave it back,
A breakdown in the south causing the flames to attack,
We fall like rain but as ash and it hurts the appeal,
Is it our hearts? Is it our souls? Is it our pride that you steal?

I'll remove my shell, When i'm ready,
Did we fall in love, With the ambitious side?
We forget we breath, But we're not ready to die,
Did we fall in love, With the indecency of everyone?
