Can you hear it as it breaks in two?

And the sound, so shrill can you hear that two?

Do you see me bleed, with a wound so deep?

Forever scared, untrusting and bleak.

 

Why does this pain run so deep?

Will it end or ever retreat?

Can I withstand such a terrible feat?

Will my heart ever beat?

 

To these questions that are unanswered, I ask you why?

How could you hold me so tight in your arms?

And when you turned your head, you’d lost your charm.

 

Never really there, and words like nails.

Always casting my feelings aside with no avail.

Exploiting me to your every advantage.

Manipulation; no worries of damage.

 

So what am I now, a worthless idler?

Left otiose and stagnate in character.

Spoiled, ruined and demolished.

A withering soul badly tarnished.

 

So tell me, Can you hear it now?

As you read these words,

And moll through my feelings that are deeply

Within all these paragraphs?

 

Can you hear the sound of a broken heart?

Now do you see how it broke in two?

In addition, to the sound so shrill can you hear that two?

Do you understand now that I bleed?

The wound it hurts and runs so deep.

 

To heal is what I ask for now and for us to concede.

 

No more
