Lead

Melt my emotions
Into pools of lead
Cold and Gray
With no more life
Than stone

Ignore me so
I need no regard
I’ll fade away
A drop in your bucket
Or a shadow with no form to you

So easily forgotten
Lost between you and I
Knowing no home
But the lifeless black clouds
That you placed on my head

I shriek in pain
With rusty knives in my side
You can’t hear it
Or you just wont listen
Look away
Leave me further than you already have
