Poor Crumbling Heart

Harden your heart like you sharpened your gaze

What was once full with adoration
Is now nothing but fake saturation

What happened beautiful soul?
What did they do to make you put them on a pedestal?

You smile your crumbling smile and damn it
For a second I forget
For one second, I forget that you left me.
No, not left me-- you broke me.
But then I realize it's not a smile meant for me,
But for your new diamond encrusted crowd

They don't see through it like I do
They'll never love you like I do,
did

We once squeezed our eyes shut on melting birthday candle waxes
That stopped once you prettily fluttered your eyes closed on sparkling stars with the rest of them

Now that you're one of them
Don't pretend you're any different

Once you're in you can never go back

So harden your heart and prepare to die
as a shell of someone who used to never want to say goodbye.

Good bye, poor crumbling heart, you're not the only one who's changed
