<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;">Leaving me completely torn open
You put down your pen
And close your thoughts
But my mind sits here vulnerable
My heart is displayed to all who wish to see
I have no choice but to sit here
Glossy-eyed, completely inside myself
Beside myself, I let the cold world heal my soul
I was severed by your words
But your words aren't meant to hurt me
They just do
-M.L.-</pre>
