shattered

I like to pretend
that my soul is made of iron
and chained in steel rope
I like to pretend
that I never care
and that if you hurt me
if you leave me
I will sit here with a smile
on this cold countenance
but please
these are only lies
when you pull away from me
my heartbeat speeds up
and I reach out
though my mind screams to run
I desperately reach out to you
and whisper
"please
my soul isn't iron
I need you
don't leave me
I swear to everything above me
that I break easier than anyone else."
