Unaffected

by Jemma   Oct 29, 2006


It cannot hurt me
I can feel no more
I ran away too long
Left outside, too cold

I listen to their rhythms
I listen through their lies
I have no cause reveal my secrets
No one ever tried to rescue me
And I have never left my hiding place

It cannot hurt me
I'm unaffected
Please don't try to hurt me
I've been without so long

I pray for fallen angels
Those with darkened grace
Unafraid of what life teaches
Unaffected

It's a dull, dead sound
Too many heartbeats
Too many war drums
Too many hoarse voices
Shouting, always shouting

I left my heart long ago
Lost even before I cast it aside
For I would not have it broken

You cannot hurt me
I feel no more, I ran away
So long I'm unaffected
Stranded in the cold
Because no one came to save me
