I Told You To Be Gentle


I tell everyone that I am fine

But I’m not

He took my heart

And used it as a punching bag

He climbed the tallest building

And let it fall out of his hand

He watched it smash into the pavement

And shatter into a thousand pieces

My heart is broken beyond repair

And I am not fine
