A Blackened Heart
Your beautiful face,
Twisted in rage,
You are an animal,
Locked in her cage.
You yell and you scream
And you flail your arms,
I sit and I nod
And I mean you no harm,
I wait my turn
And get ready to strike,
A blizzard of reason,
Cold as ice.
My words are true
My words are right
You know of this
You scream in spite
You're scared of this
You run in fright.
Why do you run?
I want you back,
I want what we had,
But your heart is black.
You used to love,
And understand,
But now you hate,
And tell me I can't.
You keep me aroundTo push me away,
I'm stuck here with you,
Every day,
You await my departure
With dread and fear,
So instead of treasuring,
You trap me here.
You confiscate
The time of my life,
Spill the blood of my freedom
With your arctic knife,
Languish in my room
Your picture painted in darts,
Together every moment,
We're always apart,
If we keep this up
It will sever our ties
When at last I depart
No tears in my eyes.
I just don't know
Where I made the wrong turn
But the loss of your love
Makes my heart burn,
My insides are flames
With you to blame,
It hurts even worse
'Cause you should be my nurse,
You're supposed to comfort,
And reassure,
Not terrify,
And make insecure.
I wanna fix it
And sometimes I try,
But you never listen;
Look me in the eyes!
You never can bear
The weight of your choices,
Since you choose ignorance,
You silence our voices,
You don't wanna hear it
You don't wanna listen,
You'll never sit down,
And read what I've written.
