My heart was a collection of string some pulled
too much dishevelled in arraignment others played
a melody that reverberated Upon a soul but all
were tugged in one way or another.

It was who was playing them at any given time,
friend, lover, all played the strings in a different
way. I was like a string quartet, I was performed
in many an angle in different ways.

Play my heart, make this vessel mimic your needing's
on any given day. but please don't break my strings
as this are the only ones I play, emotional selotape
is easily snapped once you erode the rhythm away.

I have a tune each different to those I meet and how
they feel it should be played. But its still an instrument
of my life, it doesn't need to be pulled all the time.
Its of feeling so be gentle as my strings need rest ok.

I wrap selotape on my heart so I can spend more time focusing on your scars.
Something you've never noticed,
I cant blame you,
You're just like everyone else,
I guess it's just the world we live in,
Everyone out for themself,
Dont pay no mind to the signs,
Blood seeping through my shirt,
You focus on all but my hurt,
It's my curse,
Never see the worst,
Let you trample upon me,
Until I dont feel worthy.
Not of you,
But of me,
No longer able to look in the mirror,
You see,
I was so busy fixing you.
I forgot my time was overdue.
Dont worry,
I'll add you to the other few.
The list,
To those that will never be missed.

— The End —
