Take A Little More

I have nothing left to give.

I'm this new burden you have

and I'm here to stay

I'll take everything you've got

Baby, I'll take this all away.

 

I'm the hurt you feel in your chest

I'm the loneliness tearing you apart

I'm the anger at those people called friends

I'm the darkness growing in your heart.

 

You tried so hard to feel better

You worked and chizzeled away

But I'm here, I'm alive, I'm real

Close your eyes, get on your knees, pray.

 

I'll take everything you have, I'll steal this all away

You worked so hard to hold on

But I'm gonna take it all away

But I'm gonna take it all away.

 

You're running out now, I see

You're hurt and you're lost

I'll make you what you're meant to be.

Come on, let go, I won't stop

I'll take and I'll take - everything you've got.

Until you've got no more and you scream for help

No one's gonna hear you, no one really cares

Give me everything, give me everything you felt

I'll take it all away, and take a little more

because there's nothing worth fighting for.

Not anymore.

I like this cause I love taking walks maybe that's why i'm a boney person.....haha lol.....anyway I liked this a lot really inspiring in it's own way and that's what i admire about your writing. Very nice job! can't wait to read more!

If 'hurt' inspired this, then....WOW!
it seems like a love ballad, then goes completely wrong from what i got out of reading....not sure if that is what you intended, but that is my impression.
I am torn.
i like it, and yet its so sad that it makes me hurt.....
so if that was your aim....Great job!!:)

I think this is a good poem. It is very sad though. It made me feel all depressed, but that's why I like it. Thanks for sharing. :)
