Poem: I Want My Heart Back

I Want My Heart Back by: Scott Barnes
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I said goodbye and walked away,
Tired of being used and lied to,
And left behind so much there,
Lost so many things to you,

You can keep the clothes,
You can keep the toys,
You can keep all of it,
Except for one thing,

I want my heart back, please,
I'm sure you don't want it now,
Just hand me the bloody pieces,
So I can try to fix it, somehow,

I'm finding it hard to live,
With the hollow hole in my chest,
Where you tore me to shreds,
I just want to be able to rest,
And feel my heart beat again.

I don't want you back,
I just want you gone,
I don't need the pain,
I just need to move on,

I want my heart back, please,
I'm sure you don't want it now,
Just hand me the bloody pieces,
So I can try to fix it, somehow.

You don't need to love me,
You don't need to be there,
You don't need to lie to me,
You don't need to say you care,

I want my heart back, please,
I'm sure you don't want it now,
Just hand me the bloody pieces,
So I can try to fix it, somehow.
