Shattered Heart

Shattered Heart

Wish I had a story to tell
But I doubt I could tell it well.
For there’s a wall around my shattered heart,
Scribbled down lines at an attempt to start.

My mind is open but my thoughts aren’t free,
There’s a shadow of mystery surrounding me.
For every time you’re close, I run away,
While spending my days trying to make you stay.

I don’t know when I’ve gained, but I know when I lose,
I run around crazily with my neck in a noose.
I desperately search for what I already got,
But I’m determined to fail when I have a shot.

I’m a distant runner yet I’m standing still,
I’m an open book with a closed seal.
Trained to attack but this dog don’t bite,
I love to pick but hate to fight.

So my greatest advice to you is to let me be,
I’m way too complicated from what your eyes can see.
I’m a shattered heart with no time to heal,
A tortured soul left after a kill.
