Fluttering Hearts

The Shattered Heart

Its rare, its beautiful, its unique,
Its mine, its yours, its ours,
We live, we love, we die,

I once believed in what you said,
that what you told me was true..

I thought to myself you of all
people would never have a reason to lie to me.

You were the one i could trust,
the one i would never ever doubt.

I know it was vulnerable of me to believe this,
and that i was giving you something that most would never have.

I had given you in a sense "ME" and knew it was the right thing to do.
I gave you all i had to give,
i gave you all of me.

You took me and you toyed with me as best as you could,
you even set me aside from time to time.

You poked and prodded,
and even kicked and stomped,
and when that didn't get you what you wanted,
you even stroked and cared for me.

I was broken and afraid not
sure which way to turn,
i tried everything i could just to understand you.

You acted as if you even
gave a shit a few times,
it was like you knew i was broken and used it against me.

I tried as best as i could to get away from you,
i ran, i hid, i even allowed myself to disappear into nothing.

It didn't matter what i did i always ended up back with you,
always ended up in your grasp, and in danger of
what you would do to me.

We all have a dark side and allow it to take over from time to time,
and we all allow bad things to happen to ourselves.
This is what the inner dark side does to all of us at one point or another..
