Barbed Wire Heart
A heart wrapped in barbed wire.
it shouldnt beat, it shouldnt pump.
it shouldnt make the faintest sound,
of a little thump thump.
but its there, and its cold.
all the pain, and the hurt
is realy getting old.
how long can it beat, wrapped up in wire?
it cant be much longer, till its done and im free.
but wait, it gets tighter. hurting more and more.
cant it just be done? can my misery be over?
someone pleas just pull it out.
what ever happens then cant be worse then now.
i wish i could scream, i wish i could shout,
but no sound escapes these lips.
these lips, once so warm and tender,
now sit cold and forgotten,
just like a burnt out ember.
pleas just make it stop!
no longer can i bare it!
pleas just make it stop!
that way, i wont have to share it,
this misery that surrounds me.
tighter and tighter, the wire holds its grip.
its slashing and ripping,
like its being whipped.
how long can i stand it?
please tell me how!?
its impossible to ever feel, especially now.
its been cut, its been beat,
no longer is it usefull.
cant anyone see that it would be better off gone?
i cant do it myself! i need someones help!
will no one come save me?
will no one come help?
feelings burn, no longer pleasent.
i waited and waited,
focousing only on the present.
to late! im gone. to lost in the past.
my life is speeding by, all to fast,
but wait, now it stops, mooving by like a snail.
the hammer has once again found my heart,
pounding in the nail.
and so its no use, my fate has been sealed.
this heart wrapped in wire will never be healed.
