Dying for a Heart

Save me
Hurry, please
I’m tearing at the seams
The stitching is coming undone.
Save me
They may see who I really am
See that I am more
Than this broken heart
More than these stains
More than this mask.
I was told
It was better to be honest
To let people inside.
Look at me now.
Does this look better?
All you ever did
Was make this a bigger mess.
This line in the sand
A clear signal
Of a horrible betrayal.
Your blind eyes
Stare back at me.
I thought I knew you
But now
It is so clear
That I was just staring
Into another mask.
My heart is numb
Your heart is dead.
You gave up life
A long time ago
Back in the days
When you couldn’t let go.
Freeze me down
It will only make this
Just a little easier.
Save me
From this disturbed ending
From a heart left untouched
And a sorrowful goodbye.
