The Pit

Sat in my own filth many times before

But this is the longest the shit stuck the floor

Fucking taking lashes and asking for more

1, 2, 3, 4, what the hell is all for?

I am here ... in the pit

Hardened skin; cloak and dagger

Demons within, hammer to the head and I stagger

Kneeling on the ground and I am the bagger

Friend to a lover, and lover to a stranger

I am here...in the pit

What is trust?

Expose it to the air and watch it rust

Hold in your hand as turns to dust

Blown away by the sudden gust

I am here... in the pit

I loved you and gave you everything

You saw what I was, what I wanted to be

But you took my trust and faith away from me

Now I am left swallowed by the sea

I am here...in the pit

I am passing out my resume to the next on the line

To find someone willing to deal with me is hard to find

Messages online read, deleted, and I'm left behind

Sitting in my chair with agony entwined.

I am here ... in the pit

Don't look at me with your damn pity

I don't need you to be sorry for me

That bitch was sorry as she went to flee

Gave me sympathy in a absentee

I am here... in the pit

I expose myself to all of you

I give you something to chew

Just know this can to you; this is true

Be grateful for who you have because time may be due

You might here.... in the pit.
