Heart Penalty

So many feelings
So many insecurities
Over-thinking everything

Marching like a criminal 
To the beat of my own car-crash
Lingering in the fire of defeat

Must I meet your hollow empty friends?
Deaf
I dare not stay 

Take me back
Back to the beginning

Heart spun
Blindly singing to the sun

You nailed my head to the ground
You kept me alive

You became my muse
Until you tightened the noose
And kicked the chair from under me

Leaving me hanging
My heart dangling.
