I had a conversation with the man who haunts my dreams
Who wanders around my mind like a lost soul
With the man who broke my heart...
Who shattered my innocent dreams of love
And we spoke
It felt unreal
Surreal
Psychedelic perhaps
It felt like a dream speaking to him again
A fantasy perhaps
We haven't spoken in a year
He's broken me
He's hurt me
He's shattered my heart
But no
Not this time
This time I am a warrior
Slashing his words
And menacingly swallowing every look his eyes have as they trail down my body
With lust
No love
Not an ounce of love

We were just a game of lust
You lusted over my body
I loved your artistic melodious heart

You want me physically
I want emotional depth

You want my body
I want your heart

You said I was lost
I am broken
I can not see my path any longer

You were right about that

You always know my heart
But then you seek more...
The more I can not give
For innocence is all I have
To give this world

And this time...
I'm letting you go, lover boy

For you and I can never be
We are too broken for one another
Two shattered souls can never try to seek love from one another
For we only find emotional depth
Something beyond my wildest dreams
I find in you.

But I am letting go
Letting go of your tug on my heart
On those shattered pieces you left in me

Go
Leave
Get out of my heart.
