My heart is drying up
Every day bits and pieces of it
Flake off and blow away
How long must I wait to be whole again?
I count every second of my life
And watch as the darkness and emptiness
Grow inside me
And I wait to be whole again
It's cold, so cold
I fear that I'll never be warm again
I wear many faces to disguise my pain
So no one will see my gaping wound
And still I wait to be whole again
Smiles are excruciating
Laughter tastes metallic, coppery like blood
Joy will soon become a distant memory
Like the missing part of me that I can still feel
Will I ever be whole again?
