TORN APART

It isn't easy to play along

to a beaten-down song

I have to admit

my heart hurts a bit

it is even making me sick

when I know he is wrong,

this pain keeps playing on...

I need to ask, what have I done

for him to play on my heart

and torn it apart,

left my heart bleeding like ink

while my spirit sinks.
