Before You Left Me in Scars
December 28, 2013
This heart I once owned
Used to be a sweet puddle of blood
That would ache and beat
Before you left me in the mud.
These hollow eyes I have
Used to sparkle with delight
That would shine on the room
Before you left me blind.
And my laugh was contagious
Before you cut out my tongue,
Before I learned that if I breathe you in,
Your air would suffocate my lungs.
