I am cold and broken
Lying naked on the floor
Shattered and feeble
Worse off than before

Before you appeared
Like a burst of golden light
Before I knew
How to sleep peacefully through the night

I was content, complacent
Prior to your coming to me
Filling me with hope and wonder
Now I just feel empty

A new scar emerges
On a tattered heart
A pleasant reminder
To stay alone in the dark

To not let yourself feel
Not allow yourself to get hurt
Relationships and emotions--
Nothing will ever work

Fight to the death
To keep up your walls
No matter who tries
No matter who calls

Stay inside yourself
Where you're safe and warm
Where you know how to be
And protect yourself from harm

Never again
Do you want to feel like this
Cold and shattered
A sick, rapturous bliss

You're a *******
An odd desire for pain
You do this to yourself
Over and over again

You tell yourself convincingly
"It will be different than before"
That nasty little lie
That brings you to the floor

To be left quivering and broken
Completely alone
Until you open your eyes
And welcome yourself home.

I love you.
Theres nothing more to say
To add anything
would be like
cutting an arm away.

I love you
No buts
Thats all i can say.

Life works in mysterious ways
One moment it gives you everything you want
and just as quickly takes it away.

Life choices
mistakes are made
we all have to own up to it at the end of the day

I love you
I love you
Day after Day
I trust in my path
and pray
that one day
may our lifes smile upon us
and bring us back together
one day

Whose fault is it?
There must be someone to blame
Should I blame myself?
Or start taking names?
For some reason I'm incapable of lending out my heart
Am I more afraid of rejection or of someone tearing it apart?
But what if those aren't the reasons either
Maybe there's a guard up that I need to shed
All I know is I seem to like men for a maximum of few days after we've been in bed
But once that third day comes, I'm as cold as ice
I stop returning calls and trying to be nice

Part of me feels disappointed
I want my money back
I thought *** was supposed to come with true love intact
Two naked bodies colliding
The smell of pheromones
Ah, the temperature is rising
The collision of our bones
The brain is producing chemicals
Pleasure is induced
There's scratching and there's biting
"Hello inner caveman, I don't think we've been introduced."

Maybe I'm not patient enough
Emotions take too long
You've got to find the right words
Pick the right songs..
Maybe bodies get too familiar
Curiosity has got this cat
Yeah, I can be promiscuous
I'm not afraid to wear that hat
A mere infatuation is the closest I've been to having my heart melt
And even then, I wasn't truly sure what I felt
Maybe I'm cold blooded
I chew them up and spit them out
Either way
I'll still be living with doubt.
