They say to write what you know
But all I know is an empty heart
Sleepless nights
And no fresh starts
My days run together
With the slowing thuds of my heart
If it doesn't beat with love
It's skids with a loss of hope
A loss of time
A loss of urgency
Why beat if you're beat
And out of feelings to be had
And what you left me with
Nothing
No beat to carry on
What if I never love again
In fact, I know I'll never love again
Because if love is opening a heart
And a heart is something no longer had
Love can never give me a jump start
You never get over your first real love
Or so they say
But if your first real love took it all
There's nothing left to give away
I've searched for this feeling
For any tinge of senses
What I get in return are dull roars
And deep cuts
Drunken nights
And cigarette butts
Why love again when you can be void
Numbing is the absence of pain
But being in love is like being set on fire
And fueling it within
If love is done right
There is nothing left when the flame dies out
For it was so hot, it took you with it
