Barbed Wire Heart
These wounds are deep inside me.
There is nothing you can see.
It's all internal bleeding,
That will be the death of me.
You've got my heart in wires
With barbs embedded deep.
A cut for everything you've said,
And one for every deed.
Yet the more I fight, the worse it gets,
My struggles are in vain.
You cannot see my suffering,
or feel this twisting pain.
Another strand, another barb
Another wound for me.
While you go on, unaware,
Living so blissfully.
There is nothing you can see.
It's all internal bleeding,
That will be the death of me.
You've got my heart in wires
With barbs embedded deep.
A cut for everything you've said,
And one for every deed.
Yet the more I fight, the worse it gets,
My struggles are in vain.
You cannot see my suffering,
or feel this twisting pain.
Another strand, another barb
Another wound for me.
While you go on, unaware,
Living so blissfully.
