Fading/Rising

Acronymity and the north american fat-backed billygoat

for the life of me, I can't understand
relentless disrespect.  It
enrages me just to think of
not being there for you.
cold heart and numb mind
he created
losing all your self respect
insensing you to self destruction.
care is all you needed to
keep you on your feet
instead you were put on the
shelf
fighting for what you
already gave.
despite the
insenitive, shallow treatment, you
never got the clue
giving all you had to give him, but what did he give to you?

 

may I be the one to break
a tendancy to mistreat a beauty so
rarely found in this grey world.
you let me into your chilled heart
leaving yourself bare to pain
and what could I do other than
nurse that warmth back to your lovely mind.
don't you dare think I'd ever hurt you.
remember they didn't deserve you.
i'll be right here, always beside you,
shouldering life's burdens with you.
i love this girl like you cannot know
no, you'll know, you'll know it,
go and watch us as I show it.

i lo-lo-lo-love this.

this is my favorite part:
"instead you were put on the
shelf
fighting for what you
already gave."

great flow as well.
