Stop my Heart


I thought I knew it once Only to leave me helpless and exposed I lie on the floor Heart bleeding tears And eyes forever lost I need that again I need you to care Someone To remove these lonely nights from my life Whoever you are, wherever you may be Please find me My heart aches Only tortured by the possibilities So helpful… my weakness You’ve tricked me with your ways I’ve overlooked your natural born kindness How stupid of me Pitiful, to think more of it I feel once again the hurt and pain I breathe in your leftover fragrance Hoping for you…longing for your presence Why is my heart so willing? I thought you were the one Charming and seemingly perfect I wasn’t wrong about you But how so I was about intentions So lost and confused How could this happen Tears again, the only exposed indications of my hurt I guess this means I’m back to the beginning Looking for who I though was you I feel the vines clamping further around my heart Soon I won’t be able to loosen its grip, to expose it any longer There is only so much We can take Before it stops beating forever Will I have you then?
