hazard
-
rip out my heart and keep it as a prize. you see me sad, and somehow you can't believe your eyes.
why does it come to you as a surprise, that you're the only reason i ever seem to cry?
you broke me into pieces, but it was just for fun. did you think there'd be anything left of me when you were done?
i tell you i'm alright so you don't think that i'm numb, but really, you could shoot me and i wouldn't notice the gun.
i have no emotion, i have no feeling. you don't believe that, you assume that i'm ailing.
you want to help me but you don't know how. i want to be freed but there's no way out.
i don't want your help, i want to be left alone. i don't know what's so bad about being on my own.
why can't you go? give me a break? you try so hard, it makes both our hearts ache.
you're like a cloud of smoke, i'm afraid to take a breath. every inhale is hazardous, with each, i'm close to death.
you don't know my feelings, you hardly know your own. at least i know i have them, i'm just danger prone.
