CARCASS HEART
I once opened and let you in;
Together we faced and took a spin.
Taking my heart you filled it with hope;
Feeling you I learned to cope.
I felt so safe in your strong arms;
Glazed by fear, I was swayed by your charms.
Laughter and smiles filled me up;
Never would I have guessed this breakup.
Feeling the softness in your eyes;
Not seeing the hurt, not believing the lies.
I risked for your heart, but I also stole;
Digging my own grave I made a deep hole.
Throwing away the love innocently;
Running away on a rebellious spree.
I just didn't know the painful outcome;
And with every beat and every strum--
Words that I hear are repetitive and numb.
I see you and painfully whisper "come..."
But my heart is a carcass;
Fragile and deceptively anxious.
Once overflowing with strength and life;
I'm overwrought and filled with strife.
I collapsed and laid in a strange dead form;
The pain an angry mob, a suicidal swarm.
Rising up I shake at the mirror and stare;
Now knowing what's real and feeling the flare.
I guess love now is just a sick game;
Leaving you dry and putting you through shame.
I am now alive with a carcass heart;
Not knowing how to end or where to start.
