I am lost inside
Lost and alone
Full of pain
Never been loved
Though I have given love
To many who has wished it
And to those who have not
Yet I am still so lost inside
So alone and whimpering
Longing for his touch
Longing for even a drop
Of his love
Or a small space in his heart
Even though I am what I am
Worthless and weak
I am lost inside
Maybe that is best
The chasm opens beneath the heart
Showing the true power of love
In all of its dark glory
This is what happens
When you jump in blindly
When you don't step back
And look at the whole package
Before you get too involved
Trust me on this
Behold my battle scars from love
I have walked that path
Too many times in my life
So please heed my advice
Look before you leap
Else you end up crushed
In the chasm called love
With these broken wings
I try to soar high
Above the crowds
But all I can do
With these broken wings
Is crash back to the ground
Cause they won't heal
They keep breaking
More and more each day
Stuck on the ground
Trampled on by the masses
No one can see me
No one can hear me
So with these broken wings
I sit here battered and bruised
And I cry my heart out
With broken wings
As my only shelter
From the cold world
From the pain inside of me
Just me and my poor broken wings
And a world that
Doesn't care about
The likes of me and my broken wings
I give up
I surrender
I'm tired of this dance
I get the picture now
I'm meant to be alone
There is no love for me
I'm the comforter
I'm the friend for those in need
In the shadows
Is where I will be waiting
Just in case I'm needed
But I understand now
I can't be loved
Not even by myself
Behold the darkness falling
Heavily upon my fragile heart
Dragging me down
Holding me back
See how small I have become
See how scarred I am
I have become a shell
Forever locking myself away
To keep myself safe
From being destroyed again
Everything I hear
Always sounds like a lie
Even if it is the truth
How twisted I have become
How jaded I now am
All thanks to a tiny thing
Called "Love"
Welcome to the pit of despair.
You look familiar.
I think I have seen you before though it was a long time ago.
Perhaps we can speak more of this after the tour is done.
Shall we begin?
As you can plainly see, on the left is the heart.
Why is it so scarred?
Well, you see, the owner she just kept giving it away even though we both know that isn't a wise thing to do these days.
But she never learned her lesson, the silly thing.
On the right is the soul.
Why are there so many holes you ask?
Well as I said before, the owner is rather silly.
She kept giving so much that she started to let people take pieces of her soul when there wasn't anything let to give of her heart.
Then, when promises were not kept, she didn't know what to do to fill up what she had so foolishly given away.
So now there are all these holes, please do watch your step.
We don't want anymore accidents in here.
Accidents you ask?
Oh now that is a story for another time my good person.
Let us continue with the tour, shall we?
Up ahead you see what is left of the mind.
Now before you ask, with everything that has happened to the owner, she doubted herself even more than before.
The truly sad part is that she wasn't really all that bad once.
Now, look, she is just a mess.
Just between you and me, I am surprised that she is still around.
But I am afraid that is the end of the tour.
There really isn't anything else to see here.
Before you go though, how about a drink?
You look like you could use it.
What?
Haven't you seen what love can do to a person when they give it their all?
You haven't??
My, my, my, you are lucky.
Here is your drink my friend.
May you have a safe journey and do come back again.
As you well know, we are always open for business.
You forced your sins on me
When I had commited no crime.
You forced your ways on me
When I tried to be myself.
You broke my wings
When I tried to fly.
You broke my heart
When I tried to love you.
Nothing I did was good enough
For you was it?
And thats why I am GONE!
Touch me softly
Let me pretend that you care
Kiss me slowly
Let me pretend that your only mine
Hold me gently
Let me pretend that you think of me
I need my little world of illusions
Or else my grief
Would overwhelm me
And I would crumble into
A thousand pieces
Just as my heart
Is now
Cleaned up
Yet uncleaned
All dolled up
Yet a dirty whore
Make me pretty I ask
Make me pretty I beg
But the canvas
To be worked with
Makes such a simple task
Completely impossible
No matter how skilled
The artist may be
Pain
How I have missed you
You have always been there for me
When no one and nothing else
Would dare dream of it
Pain
My one true friend
My most faithful lover
How I welcome your
Familiar caress with open arms
Pain
How I love and hate you
How I long and fear you
I wish you here and wish you gone
Why must you be in my life
Why can't I escape you
Why do I need you so
Watch me bleed
Watch me cry
Watch me break
Watch me die
Lost and alone
Sad and tired
Broken and small
Ignored and worthless
Why do this to me
Did I do something wrong
Am I that bad of a person
Do I deserve this pain
Tell me and I will do
Whatever you want of me
With no regrets
Just tell me what you want
And it will be done
Have you ever seen a heart
turn blue from saddness?
Have you ever felt a heart
break without making a sound?
If you saw me now,
you would see the results of it.
My eyes tell my tale
better than my words ever shall.
Believe me as I tell you
that this pain I feel right now,
I wouldn't wish on my worst
Enemy let alone a friend.
So please look away so that I
may finally cry and drown in my tears.
Ignored for someone else
Something I have become
So very used to in my life
Thought the loneliness hurts
It is a pain I am used to
Just as well
No matter my desires
For some sweet attention
I am pushed to the side
By a lady considered more special
Yet I never say a word
And I never will
For I have no right it seems
To voice such things
When she needs his touch
And his attention
And is considered much more worthy
Of such things
That I shall ever hope and pray
To ever be
So here I will sit
Ever so quietly
Ever so understanding
As my heart breaks
Ever so slightly
Ever time I am pushed away
But what can I do
When I know it is pointless
To ever think that
Someone like me
Will ever matter
To someone like YOU
What do you do
When your dreams
Turn against you
Every time you close your eyes
And your heart betrays you
With its every beat
Reminding you of its control
Over your mind and soul
Allowing you to fall in love
To give your heart away
Even if they don't want it
Allowing you to wait in the shadows
For the day where you
Will be loved in return
Even if that day may never come
But I will wait here in the shadows
Now and forever
What else can I do
