COLD


Look me in THE eye Hurt my FEELINGS and make me cry Slap me AROUND Throw ME into the ground PULL on my hair Find MY HEART and rip and tear Yell IN my face RUIN my life and leave not a trace Tie ME to the chair Prove to me that you NEVER CARED Take everything BACK NOTHING, empty, black Leave me HERE How dare YOU shed a tear STRIKE a match and light my dreams Burning or so IT SEEMS The only thing I HOLD true Screaming till MY face turns blue Yet I know you never WILL SECRETLY you kill My TRUST Filled my soul WITH LUST A HEART that would never beat DOOMED to be cold never touched by the heat CONFUSED and lost Crumpled up and TOSSED UNWANTED Haunted I’d rather be beaten than TAUNTED.
