The wound
You hold my heart exposed, as I tense,
I am prepared for the salt to burn.
Clenching my teeth, holding my breath,
Knowing one day I WILL NOT yearn.
Coldness will take over my wounded heart.
That's exactly what I desire!
Finally feeling my soft heart harden.
No more fuel to add to my fire.
Wrapping myself in that coldness.
Pleased my heart will no longer ache.
Lips curl in a twisted, evil grin...
It will only be my shell YOU break.
