Tortured Soul
I stumbled upon a mess,
a blessing in disguise,
my bitter sweet demise,
in the form of a girl.
She carried on her back,
a burden so heavy,
it had her unsteady,
and ready to snap.
I took her weight and carried it,
from mountain high to valley low,
through brutal rain and knee deep snow,
till we reached an impasse.
She could no longer carry on,
unless someone took her burden,
unless someone kept to their word,
and took away the pain.
And so I did,
silenced her tortured soul,
one big bullet hole,
in the side of her head.
And it just goes to show,
with a heart as black as coal,
even the girl with a tortured soul,
can teach you how to love again.
