Ignoring my instinct, I followed my heart
only to be left feeling dirty and used.
Lost in confusion, I stare in the mirror;
my mind altered, not knowing truth from illusion.
Alone, I sit in the darkness of the shadow
with my intestines knotted in rage.
Reflections showing my eyes glazed from crystal tears shed,
and my crimson lipstick smudged and faded.
My heart has suffered mutilation many times over,
but none so cruel as from your razor sharp words.
Thoughts of you are the gasoline that fuels the flames
which have caused me to become hostile.
The love I was held slowly dies
much like the candle that burns itself out.
I must harvest all my emotions, lock them away,
the pain of the past is just to great to bare.
Shut myself down, become numb to the world,
live life in a walking coma for eternity.
