Illusions ~ I'll Never Be Your Girl Again

If only my eyes could have seen
behind the icicled frame of your heart
and the glacial pall of your soul
then perhaps I could begin to understand it all
My shivering heart wouldn’t have expected anything...
not anything at all

Your arms were like cold, dead branches on a winter’s tree
who was I and what would I ever to be to you or you to me?
Simply someone that you could use

and graze carelessly upon my heart?
I felt so alone and abused, you are so drunk on you
with your coiled arms wrapped around yourself

I asked my heart
“Oh heart, why did you accept such penances
such selfish paltry crumbs”?
You ran, you failed me time and time again
heightening my pain with your steeled glance

and your cold, selfish steely glance

 

You were not a man of courage
So this time...I left you instead
Just keep on running, keep on running from yourself
Now you can lay all alone in your cold, cold bed

laying all alone in your own selfish head
