Withering Heart (Part 2)
I know it’s too hard for you to comprehend
And my heart’s too damaged for you to mend.
You’re too oblivious to see how you’re excruciatingly killing me.
If you leave, the blood in my veins will dry.
My soul will rest with the stars in the sky.
The rain drops will be the tears I cry.
Is that what you want from me?
My lungs are collapsing.
My heart’s withering.
I’m dying?
See what you’ve done?
I’m vanishing.
My pulse is fading,
I’m dying.
The words you said were sharp as a blade and cut deep.
My essence is severed and is no longer mines to keep.
My eyes are gradually drawing.
I’m cold, numb, I’m frozen.
