Thrown to the Flame

feeling so completely devoid of anything real
so much confusion I dont know what to feel
my soul is bare and I 'm just trying to conceal
wondering if I am ever going to be able to heal

you cant imagine the quantity of guilt and shame
branded into my mind leaving myself to blame
life is just smoke and mirrors, just a fucking game
you have taken so very much, nothing can be the same

so much of my life has been a struggle, how could you steal
my hopes, my dreams, every ounce of my morals and ideals
your polished upstanding image has cracked and begun to peel
your heart has showed true, made of char and ice and steel

I love you, I love you so much, you cry and proclaim
your "love" has been nothing but my bane
I will never be able to forgive the day we became
your victim, heartlessly thrown away to the flame
