Throw My Heart Away

This could be taken as either lyrics. Or a poem. I'm not sure

Let me show you, let me show you, let me show you

Show you what?

 

How ‘bout you take a walk, a little stroll with me

Then I’ll tell you something, sickening to agree

I’m pretty sure you’ve seen these bruises around my wrists,

But why the hell don’t you open your eyes, have guilty twists?

I know you see the damage my life has wrought

And you know of what has happened to my heart, it’s quite caught

It’s in its own little snare; I won’t let it go (let it go)

It’s not anything new; it’s just a broken show

 

Now lemme show you this

It’s just a razor’s kiss

It seems like I’ve fallen into a pretty ‘lil addiction

And death’s in prediction

Now come in close, I’ve one thing left to say

It’s just a tiny secret; I’m throwing my heart away

 

Don’t stray away from the path, we’ve still got a ways to go

I’m telling you not to run, unless really you’re that low

See this little mark here, yeah, that one right there

No, it’s not from that, why do you have to stare?

Look, it’s just a thing, not really all that important, really

I guess I shouldn’t tell you , but it’s gotta be known apparently

It’s the pretty concept, you see? Abuse runs in the family

Now I’m only telling you this ‘cause you won’t tell; it can be shared secretly

 

Now lemme show you that

It’s a bruise from a baseball bat

This one wasn’t even my fault, well not intentionally

You ask you did it, my brother obviously

Come in closer, I’ve got on thing left to say

It’s just a tiny secret; I’m throwing my heart away

 

Torn and shredded, beat and broken

I’m throwing away my heart tonight

Burned and hurting, bled out and empty

All I have to wait for is when the time is right

 

Now lemme show you this

The killing razor’s kiss

It’s my one and only pretty addiction

Death is no longer a prediction

Now you’re in close, last thing I’m ever to say

I went and threw my heart away

Does it look better potentially as lyrics or a poem ?

Now lemme show you this
It’s just a razor’s kiss

And death’s in prediction

Oh wow i love this part, I think it would sound great as lyrics that is
my opinion. This is amazing!

poems are the lyrics of our inner music,,,

You took this one in several directions - though on the same theme. Maybe you need to think which path you want to follow?

I followed your thoughts and flow easily... so the validity is present.

Take care,
