a piece of me lies on your mantle
and i'll never get it back
if i could rip it from your cold dead hands
i might give it a crack
it's horrid to think such a way
much less to commit the act
but i invested every last drop of my being
and now i wish i never had

it's awful to wish i never loved
but i'm starting to realize just how sad
i was and how indifferent you treated me

so is wanting ignorance really all that bad?
