Hungry Heart

She sits alone with tear stained skin

and a heart that's been played like an old violin

Through her silent cries only breath breaks the silence

The act of living is a self inflicted violence 

And he will hurt forever or maybe not at all

Because loving a translucent heart meant accepting the inevitable fall

You made oxygen intoxicating, crippling such beautiful lungs

Just living for the days to end, when your call never comes 

You owned my whole heart and didn't even pay the full price

The cost of holding yours was just a sinister vice

Still I love you, unhealthily, bluntly

The mind is just blind when the heart is hungry
