Heart on a Hook

by The Flame Within   Apr 5, 2005


Impaled with an edge as sharp as could be
the blood drips down and turns dark red
no,no, please let my heart be OK
but the person who has done this has already fled

i look at my hearts as it hangs on a hook
the hole in my chest feels cold
the tears fill my eyes of the love you took
as i search for it and there is no trace
i held my heart in my hand and gently pushed it toward you
but you took it, abused it, beat it and left it to hang
i watched and didn\'t say a word even though it hurt
you evil demon you have pierced my heart with your poisonous fang

you have turned that girl against me, just part of your plan
i will fight you demon with all i have
but now my heart is on the floor being kicked like a can
i need a happy thought to help subdue the pain
this is how life is, and how it will always be
full of pain that will leave scars beyond normal vision
so i will continue to fight, even if you hurt my heart
as i stay there waiting for the incision
i am use to pain, to suffering, being hurt
of people telling me not to love because its fake
i await the doom, bracing myself, but not even feeling the pain as you insert
this is not good, my heart is still full of more pain
who is next to cause me more pain
is this how life is going to be now
but then to my surprise my heart turns a flame
i am shocked and stunned as i stare at it
it tells me to fight, to fight for what i believe
i believe in love, that with it we can conquer all
my heart returns to my chest where it belongs
i shall run this race called life, even if i must crawl

*sorry its so long*
