Bleeding ink

I needed you, but you'd never saw my wounds
Thought I was selfish, and my bleeding went on
Left a trail, wherever I went, my ink poured out
I'm broken, but still moving, trying to keep up
The ink showed how I suffered, was stepped on
Just wanted you happy, but you showed doubt
All I am is a burden, I've nothing to give to you
 More than I can bear, more than I can endure
My flesh sacrificed, my blood is no longer pure
I gave you everything and I long to be fulfilled
Redeemed in my suffering, my inkwell filled
My love was nothing to you, to me everything
I loved your soul, I followed your dreams
So now I just bleed, bursting at the seams
A flood follows, no dam can control
Follow my trail, it is easy to find
My heart is emptied from the inside
