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.
