What Heart?

What heart have I to give to thee? Each day my pain increases Love is shattered like shards of glass That's broken into pieces Now love is stained forever more I do not know desire The flame that burned inside my soul Is now a dying fire Trust and hope has disappeared I cannot believe your lies My heart no longer beats the same It sees your thin disguise Your lungs inhale the poisoned truth It lingers on your breath The truth you tell is filled with pain That caused commitment's death What heart have I to give to thee? It's now a blackened void A heart that once was filled with love Is now forever destroyed
