Suffer For My Art

Just a thought from a desperate day

I dress slowly

Do my hair neatly

I hide the scars

And smile sweetly

 

I know it's fake

But it's all I have

Because his mistakes

Tore me in half

I bite back tears

And tragic memories

I hide my fears

Deep inside of me

 

I trusted him

To care for me

I was his kin

But he left me

 

Now I'm alone

And my heart's at stake

I pray the Lord

My soul to take

 

I can't go on

Another night

Suffering for this

Useless fight

 

For this daughter

Wants to scream

She's lost her father

Now she's bursting at the seems

 

The stitches unravel

And I fall apart

So much pain

Filling my heart

 

I find a way

To end the pain

And plot the day

To finish the game

 

I can't keep going

So I make a pact

Leading me

To this desperate act

 

Today I promise

To suffer for my art

What a tragic ending

For a broken heart
