The Setup

You touched my soul, You pulled out my heart, From the very start. You snatched it so fast Left me clenching for breath Like a knife inside that twists and turns My soul felt like it burned You touched my heart and soul In a way that you did not know Calculating in what you did Conniving at what you said Everything we had you let go Exposing my very soul There is no going back For something that we lack.
