Knife In The Heart

I can’t explain

I can’t comment

It’s like a knife in the heart

Through and through

Bleeding pale

I can’t love

I can’t desire

It’s like a knife in the heart

Penetrating directly through

Bloody mess

I can’t share

I can’t experience

It’s like a knife in the heart

Sharp cut right through

Beating stopped

I can’t feel

I can’t see

It’s like a knife in the heart

Tourniquet applied

Saddened and barely alive

I can’t focus

I can’t grow

It’s like a knife in the heart

Severed completely

Dropped to the floor

I can’t get lost in your eyes

I can’t get high on your scent

It’s like a knife in the heart

Shattered to billions of pieces

Scattered in the sea

I can’t approach

I can’t talk

It’s like a knife in the heart

Failing to rejuvenate

Falling apart

I can’t hold your hand

I can’t open up

It’s like a knife in the heart

My beat is dead

Around the world it’s shadow hides

I can’t fall in love

I can’t get involved

It’s like a knife in the heart

My heart is closed

Forever it will stay sealed
