I've been hurt the final time; this has been said before

but the pain has come so often I cannot feel it anymore

the memories deep within me, the feelings so strong

I no longer want them I've carried this burden for far too long

a monkey set so sullenly down upon my back

I've carried this creature with me like it was my survival pack

all my faith was placed with this all my time well consumed

but these feelings should be long since dead like a body fresh exhumed

I can't go on much longer the weight is too much for one

unless you help me my world will be undone.
