Calloused heart

Shall i stay

when you leave?

shall i sing

when you scream?

my heart swells for you

whats the worst that can happen,

maybe im too lazy to face truth.


save me, save me

split me apart,

tear me up,

discard this swollen heart.

i wont start it with 'for'

because theres no reason

to mourn you once more.


its okay, really it is.

im my own knight now,

no need to rush in

i dont need saving.

though your screams still ring in my ear,

it no longer sounds like a song that im craving.
