Sisyphean

Understand, this isn't easy,
Hell seems warmer, nicer even,
To rip out the cord that holds me tethered, to you. Laughter is a dream,
Feverish in its intensity,
I'm pushing up my Boulder,
Diving out of the way, it rolls back down,
I've worn a path lined with frustration,
I can't break this new chains,
Links of obligations, they will,
They rattle - lead me to the truth.
