Heartless
My hands aren’t strong enough
To hold my heavy heart anymore
And the tears that drip down my cheeks
Are staining my skin
Everyone can see what happened last night
Through my chest my heart’s exposed
And no one will spare me
They can see the shadow lurking beneath me
Wanting to swallow me whole
And I’ll drop into that deep doom
Where nothing can pry me
From the grasp on my ankles
And I think I’ve cried enough
To fill all the lungs
And drown the world
In an ocean of despair
