You claim your heart doesn't work properly anymore,
it doesn't beat the same, and seems to have forgotten
its purpose. But don't you know that it was never
taught how to care, so it can't possibly be labeled as
broken now that it refuses to beat for someone else's
warm breath and crooked smile.

And so I carefully tear at your skin and gently shift
your ribs aside--you're so convinced that it's impossible to fix
and needs to be replaced. You expect me to insert a heart
that will love your body and not the boy who
broke you, but all I can find is an ***** that can
barely pump blood and has no feelings at all.

I'm sorry I couldn't fix your sadness, but I did manage
to give you a new heart, just like you asked.

My memories make me wince
Push it away you had me convinced
But it all comes out in the blink of an eye
Can you see the pain reflected in my eyes
I'm tired of feeling weak inside
My soul dies every day
Because the pain inside refuses to go away
Why did this have to happen?
Why couldn't my past have stayed a phantom?
Beaten down into submission
Unable to ignore~ I'm  forced to listen
Pain I now know all too well
I can't claw my way out of hell
A deep hidden fear of darkness and sleep
Little girl rocks, shakes and then weeps
The ghosts they visit me in my dreams
I awake to the sound of my own silent screams
