You follow in their footsteps
Along a path rarely trodden
The will-o-wisps lighting the way
Barely noticeable in the darkness
You meet me on the way to my heart
Hoping I will lead you there
My eyes see right through you
My smile disarms you
My beauty a dangerous weapon
That makes me a killer
So I try to protect you
From falling for me
As I walk away from you
You call my name softly
And as I turn around to face you
You throw your heart
It lands at my feet as I watch
I stoop down to pick it up
And hold it tightly as I bring it back
Trying to return it whole
Just as I realize that it's fragile
It cracks and it crushes
Falling apart in my hands
Before we can save it
I try to avoid your eyes
As I place the tiny, broken pieces
Into your open hands as you cringe
The broken pieces cutting your skin
I whisper an honest, tearful apology
That won't mend your heart
I walk away leaving you behind
Bleeding, Broken
Crushed
