Autobiography of a Twisted Heart
She lays there on the floor
Says “never doing this anymore”
clutching her sides
tired of the goodbyes
he’ll return again tomorrow
that’s for sure
——
shattered her heart bleeds from its seams
sewn up from the last night or as it seems
never fully healed
always completely broken
the words he yells after her
aren’t the ones he means
——
he knows how she feels
how she aches just to feel
his skin under her own
the only love she’s ever known
the only love he’ll ever see
is what’s underneath
——
her clothes she wears of shame
painted with a large red A
she can barely recognize herself anymore
labeled amongst the rest of the whores
all because she loved one boy
one boy who shattered her in every way
——
she gave that boy all she had
he was her first,
he was the worst,
but the way he could please her left her wanting so bad
——
he shattered her earth oh but he was the moon
he would laugh just to watch her swoon
to watch her just fall
guard down she gave him her all
but to him it was all just a joke
a continuous humorous hoax.
——
she left that boy eventually
but oh her wrists never ceased to bleed
with every slit her heart cried along
to the boy who took her innocence with all of his greed.
