Carbon Black


Did you ever realize your lies are the reason I cry?

I try to hide the pain but, how much more can I take?

Do you realize it's not just my heart at stake?

I guess you never knew your actions hurt

I am trying to be strong but, what you did was wrong

You are my reason for existence

I don't understand why our relationship lacks substistence

Pretty soon I fear our family will cease from existence

Please leave and don't come back 

You haven't done anything but, turn the hearts of this family carbon black
