Frivolous

Trying to find a way around my heart, but it 
keeps calling out for you... I tried to convince 
it that it never took place and that you don’t exist? 
As I try to rock my heart to sleep, but in my sleep I can still 
hear it weeping. 

The next day as I sit on the train on my way to 
work, it still keeps on weeping. It's as if someone 
took a knife and plunged it into my hearts inner sanctum. 
With each turn of her knife, my heart just keeps on screaming 
and weeping! 

How it does bleed on and on, my shirt now all 
crimson red... even down onto my brown suede 
shoes, my heart is so broken and so damn confused! 

As I have tried to keep it together and not let it 
consume my ever move...my foolish heart just keeps 
on singing that song of delusion. 

But my heart does weep on and on, without conclusion! 
How does one stop this pain? 

I tried to love again, but my frivolous heart won't 
let me fall back in love again. All it can do is 
keep on weeping and weeping...this never ending pain, I just 
wished it would stop beating!
