Who
is this?
This
reflection that I see?
Who
am I?
With
these empty eyes staring back at me?
What
happened?
To
the passions burning deep?
Is
there life left behind
The
death in these shallow heart beats?
Time
to claim it before I lose it
Snatch
it back before it’s gone.
I
can no longer keep this treasure in your clutches.
I
refuse to be the devil’s pawn.
If
you don’t mind, I’ll take my heart back.
It
was never yours to keep.
It’s
bruised and shattered now...
But
what I sow, I guess also reap.
Don’t
make me beg and please don’t make me plead.
Just
give my heart back...
I’ll
take it though it bleeds.
Who
said...
It
was yours for the having?
I
don’t remember...ever giving it away.
What
made you...
Think
you could use it as you wanted?
Smeared
and smudged, broken and undone, trashed and tossed away.
When
were you...
Intending
to come and ask me?
Permission
never granted for the pulse you took away.
Why
would you...
Leave
me here wanting?
Wanting
for the life caught in those beats you’ve locked away.
So
I’ll take my heart back.
It
was never yours to keep.
It’s
bruised and shattered now...
But
what I sow, I guess also reap.
Don’t
make me beg and please don’t make me plead.
Just
give my heart back...
I’ll
take it though it bleeds.
I
never should have trusted
Hands
that cannot hold.
I
traded my heart strings...
A
wellspring that shouldn’t have been sold.
I
couldn’t deal with
All
of its breaking mess.
I
didn’t realize...
I
needed nothing less.
Give
me its shattered pieces.
The
parts that rip and drip and bleed.
I’m
here to take my heart back.
It’s
time I am alive and I am free...
I’ll
take my heart back
Because
it was never yours to keep.
It’s
bruised and shattered now...
But
what I sow, I guess also reap.
Don’t
make me beg and please don’t make me plead.
Just
give me my heart back.
I’ve
got nothing left...
And
I’ll take it though it bleeds.
