The days are endless
and the pain is permenant
The nights are watching the fan dance on the ceiling
and the tears are flowing
It all started when they poured the anger and the sadness
into my heart
I couldn't tell them to stop, I couldn't do a thing
& it turns out, it was actually cement
And thats when you came along
right there, at the perfect moment,
to walk all over me,
and now my heart bleeds your footprints
& thats the thing about cement
once it hardens
it takes years and constant strength to
crack,
if your lucky.
They tell me
I should be okay
That what they did
shouldn't hurt me in the slightest
Then they tell me my thoughts
are wrongful,
that I should just move on
but I can't grasp what they mean
all I want is someone to drill my
cemented heart to smithereens
then, maybe, I'll be able to sleep again
& maybe I'll be able to feel
that heartbeat
the one they say, makes you a free spirit
For now the endless days carry on
and I'm stuck with a cemented heart
that just won't break.
