Pour

Pour.

Pour your sorrow into me.

Unleash your burdens with a tearful sigh.

Whisper to me what you most fear,

What breaks your heart and degrades your soul.

Throw at me what weighs you down,

Infect me with your existential wounds.

Beg me to assassinate your doubt.

Imprison me with the shackles that hold you back

And escape to where hope is free.

Poison me with your despair,

Allow your frustration to assault my chest,

And take.

Take.

Take away what once shone bright,

Filling my soul with sun-kissed rays.

Take the dreams I nourished to life,

And snatch that peace that fueled my smiles.

But hold them dear for they were me,

A gift I give that breaks me apart.

Feel serene as I struggle

To revive the joy that protected my mind.

Just take.

Take.

Take as you do,

And give me nothing but darkened grief.

Forget I was once alive,  

And that today I’m only a shadow of all your pain.
