Sacrifice

All my life I have been the lonely one

He who fights the battle never won

Just waiting for the chance to be known

While I just fade; inward I've grown



Some may notice at one time or another

Befriend me, bring me close and call me brother

Their hearts are pure; if only they could see

It's inevitable; they will be hurt by me



The bond gets stronger; we laugh and we cry

Signs in my mind that the end is nearby

I tell myself no, not on this path again

And suddenly only the tracks of my tears remain



My nature is evil, my darkness most clear

In a flash all I invoke is anger and fear

So quickly, it seems, they've already forgot

While once at the forefront, now merely an afterthought



Although I am damaged, my resolve is quite strong

To those who discard me I shall do no wrong

For all who do listen and all that do see

I may be forgotten, but you won't be by me
