my bleeding heart

I have a bleeding heart that tears itself apart

It doesn't know how not to hurt, it can only pump out blood

I have a bleeding heart that doesn't know when to stop

It stares and crawls and wants more and more and more

I have a bleeding heart that gets always too attached, always too close

It begs for mercy as it falls in love

I have a bleeding heart that does nothing but cry in your arms

It feels so useless and unworthy of every drop of affection it is given

It feels dirty

I have a bleeding heart and it's all I'll ever have

So don't close out the door, keep the light on, and wait for us
