The Heartless Girl

Rip out my heart 
and bury my soul
Kill all my feelings 
leaving me stone cold.

Turn this fake smile 
into a frown. 
I’m tired of portraying 
the image of a clown.

Years of been strong, 
I've finally given in.
Crumbling to the ground
like these broken dreams. 

Solitude has become 
my new best friend.
As those who promised to stay
walked away in the end.

I've learned to be alone,
facing all my fears.
While each night
rolled down painful tears.

Praying for someone 
To just be there.
And prevent me from falling
into a dark pit of despair.

But in darkness I found tranquility
And pulled myself up again.
And realized I’ll always be alone
To face my own pain. 

So rip out my heart 
and bury my soul. 
Let me now be known as 
The Heartless Girl.
