Heart

My heart is hurting,

Like a muscle, used too much.

My heart has been used,

In more than one way;

Take this pain away.

My heart has been left,

Then drowned in salty tears,

Burning like pure acid,

Making my heart cramp.

Take this pain away.

My heart has been abused.

It loved my mother,

Who never loved me back.

How can it ever trust again?

Take this pain away.

My heart is cold,

Just like a rock of ice.

Every time it beats,

I feel an icing pain,

Take this pain away.

My heart has been broken,

Before it was even whole.

Don't tell me a story,

Of heartaches, I know it all.

Take this pain away.

Don't touch my heart,

If you do, you'll leave me,

I know it so well,

Just like everyone else.

Take this pain away.

One of these days,

I'll stop its beat,

Let it rest, forever.

It will be a delighted sigh.

Take this pain away.
