Graffiti Covered Heart
Graffiti on my heart
The threads pulled apart
A battered thing
It can no longer sing
So vital but so fragile
When pain is agile
It splatters to the floor
Covering it in gore
I cut it out myself
And it will sit on my shelf
Because I don't need it
And these periodic fits
I just want to feel whole
That's my biggest goal
But how I fail and fail
And happiness sets sail
So sorry to say
That I lost my way
My mask is breaking
My hands are shaking
I'm divorced of feeling
No chance for healing
My heart is on a shelf
I cut it out myself
Covered in gore
It's no longer on the floor
When pain is so agile
It leaves a heart fragile
It can no longer sing
That battered thing
The threads pulled apart
With graffiti on my heart
