metaphors of a martyr....

by tattooedbeatmessiah - Libra

her memory burns like a
cigarette,
still smoldering in the
ashtray,
stub it,
grind it,
twist it,
bend it,
break it,
walk away from it,
but yet, it
refuses to extinguish,
so here i am,
living with a memory,
pretending i'm alright,
carrying history like a cross
christ-like through the streets,
bearing burdens of guilt as 
thorns in my crown,
i would trade my remaining years
for those five minutes
six years ago when i was 
too scared to apologize and 
too shamed to go back...
and for that i will pay 
cause you just wont go away....
