You took your heart back
And said that you never actually gave it to me
That it never was mine,

Even though I shared my heart with you.

I still had time to see what was there.

You can deny it all you want

But I’ve seen it with my own eyes.

And I should have realized from what I saw

That I saw enough.

I knew all along

That your heart had been blackened.

I felt its icy touch first-hand.

Some parts were brittle and crumbled too easily

While others were simply petrified.

So, have your fucking heart back.

I should have never gave you mine.

All I ever wanted to do was help you.

Silly me.
