Spies of the Heart

spies of the heart

open locked doors

find unspoken dreams

unheard wishes

fantasies beyond ones wildest imagination

spies

spied upon my heart

displayed pictures of my soul

found hidden joy

and created new scars

spies

whispered sweet nothings in my ear

encouraged me to trust and to feel

to dream of a future

they promised me the world

spies

spit in my face

they defecated on my dreams

laughed at my loyalty

turned my world upside down

spies 

they are unwanted

unwelcome

leave me be

you have no home here

spies

fade into the distance

i dont want your future

i dont need your dreams

i encourage no feeling 

spies

erase your hold on my heart

my life

my soul

goodbye
