Heartless

He said to me once "Why does no one love me?" Then be cried upon my shoulder Begging to know why no one wanted his broken heart I stitched it back Kept it from falling apart He never knew the nights I wasted away Mending his shattered heart Then one day he said with joy "I'm in love! I'm in love! I'll give her my heart! I'll give her my love!" I smiled for my friend Helped him woo his lady friend He gave her his heart on a silver platter But she threw it away Far far away And then it shattered He came to me once more He sobbed his eyes to oblivion Asking why she did it All I could do was hold him tighter as his cries shook us both His cries pierced my ears till they bled So much pain and suffering The agony, oh how it brought tears to my eyes So I took my own heart out Gave it to him It filled the black hole nicely Beated strong and loud He never realized that it was mine When he cried out to me once more "My friend! My friend! I'm in love once again! And this time, she's brought to life my dead heart!" I gave him a sad smile My oblivious friend never knew that the heart he has Was always mine Tis true, tis sad He loves her with heart that's not even his I gave up my love To see him smile I'm now dead inside Without a pulse I'm the walking dead I feel nothing Can't feel love anymore But my heart still beats Inside my best friend who never knew he was loved all along
