Heart On Ice
Woke up this morning to see you were gone
It took me a moment to realise it has been far too long
My back still hurts from the dagger you struck me with
Tore my heart from behind my ribcage
I can still fell the claw marks from you ripping it out
Didn't bother you a bit to hear me freaking out
You ran off on me, and took my heart with you
Stole my heart but left it laying next to me
It's still beating but it can't beat without you
You wanted my heart but gave it back to me
Now there's just emptiness and selfless empathy
If you want it back just let me now
It'll be next to the bed lying near the lamp post
It still beats for you if you want it come and get it
I know yours is beating for mine too
I can feel t when I get close to you
Beating is slowing every day you're away
Maybe next time you could be here to stay
I will keep it alive and well put it in a jar to keep it preserved
When you're ready come and get it
On a silver platter hot and ready to be served
