Hardened

12-5-04

My heart is broken

The gaps fill with bitterness

The wounds never close

From the last touch’s kiss

 

I reach out for help

But nobody receives

I try to love

But my heart still grieves

 

The loss of someone

I never really had

Weighs on my mind

Makes me feel bad

 

I want to make it work

For us to be together

But it isn’t only me

He can’t decide whether

 

He wants to live now

And suffer loss later in life

Or hide away to prevent

The pain from causing strife

 

But little does he know

What he is passing up

I have a lot to give

But I can’t help that I’m messed up

 

I’m not sure how

To express my feelings

And losing him has

Simply sent me reeling

 

My heart is broken

The gaps fill with bitterness

The wounds never close

From the last touch’s kiss

 

If he’d just give me

A solitary chance

I’d prove myself worthy

And he’d take a second glance

 

We could live in the moment

And love each other dearly

If we lost touch later

We’d at least have our memory

 

A recording of the good times

I know that we’d have

Time we spent together

A part of life to love

 

I care about him deeply

But we can hardly stand

To be hurt again

It’s pain we understand

 

We know it hurts

And want to avoid at all costs

The pain of heartbreak

And the sufferance of loss

 

So we won’t be together

To prevent further despair

When we eventually separate

We give death to the ability to care.

 

 

My heart is broken

The gaps fill with bitterness

The wounds never close

From the last touch’s kiss
