A Heart Like Yours
I’m counting on
A heart like yours,
Eager to love,
Faster to hate,
I’ll flip on the switch
And lay you to waste.
I’m counting on
Cold eyes,
Warm words,
Easy charm that breaks worlds.
Token glance,
I’ll throw a bone
And keep you burning,
All alone.
Gaping wounds,
Sleepless nights,
Feeling like you’re
Never right.
Blame games,
False pain,
Guilt trips,
Through your veins.
I’m counting on
How you’ll never
Never be the same,
Once you’ve tasted,
Felt and hated
A painted, smirking, selfish, jaded…
Heart like yours.
