I Melt Down

I melt down And I break down When I lose the one I love. I gave that person the best of me, The rest of me, And in the end My heart was strangled, My heart was tangled, In a web with no life And in a web that took my breath away. I sit there and I die slowly I sit there and I die lonely. I melt down And I break down Because my lover Pushed me into the fire And they never extinguished the flames. They watched me burn They watched me perish and left my burning heart as my remains. The last piece of me that was living, The only piece of me that could beat, The only part of me that could love, My sacred heart is not an item But a treasure that won't ever amount To gold or sparkling diamonds Just because my love is priceless.
