What are we living for?

Deep in my heart
deeper even in my soul
your voice sends reverberations
shattering reason's only hold

you send me warm words
and even warmer now your touch
my heart beats for you
even now its in your clutch

now you send a winters chill
now the words all fade away
now my heart it has no pulse
bitterness molded just like clay

tell me what you want
i'll tell you what i need
i need your knife out of my heart
for i've no more blood to bleed
