heart

When your heart crumbles down, do you give up? When it's smashed flat, do you lose hope? When it's burned Ripped Drowned Cut Bruised Dead Do you put it down?

Do you let your heart pull that trigger? Do you let your heart tie up the rope? Do you let your heart open that bottle? Do you? Do you give up and die because that's what your heart says?

Your heart said to give up Your brain said it would be the logical choice Your fingers said they would be in assistance But your mouth said no

Only half your heart spoke the truth Only half your heart lied What do you think is the truth? The part where it wants to die?

Your heart has been bandaged more times than you can count It has been smushed into the dirt Stomped on By some people you loved the most But not by all There are people waiting Out there Somewhere Looking at you

They're waiting for your signal To show you're ready to open your heart to them To show them it's broken Shattered Flattened Bruised Cut Drowned Crushed Ripped Burned To show you it's dead

Not for long They are the people who will sit for hours As long as it takes To repair your heart They'll each sew it up Their own thread showing their mark On your new and improved Lovely heart
