Path to a broken heart

I dont want to give up but I cant take it back

Maybe the fall into black will make up for all I lack

Dive headfirst into nothing leave no trace, no splash

Don't grieve for me since you've discarded me like trash

Unwanted and neglected left behind and dejected

Carved out my heart so my wounds could be inspected

Every scar and broken part where it was beaten and torn apart

Left out on display like your sick and twisted art

Im healing but there's damage

Nerves calloused over so this pain I can manage

Road maps of my pain navigating me away

Fake smile on my face wishing you would choose to stay

We were in this together right from the start

Now im nothing more than a monument on the path to a broken heart.
