Shrapnel Love Letter Bomb Version 2

I opened my valentine card love-letter bomb 
Where I was penetrated by your shrapnel caress 
Stabbed by the bleeding explosion grafted to my nervous system 
In between my skin and your own which we shared 
Under a moonlight sonata in my brain 

A beating lump breaks through the seams 
Of my chest followed by the slithered entrails 
Of a once live heart now spilling down the drain 
Feeding the lovelorn vampires who have gone insane 

Out in the rain I couldn't speak 
I took away my everything                           
No matter what I tried to say, you slipped away 
Spring time is gone, it's turned it's back on everything 
My best laid plans slipped away
When you ran away

So there we were out in the rain with your harsh hot words 
They kept you warm, despite what little was worn
You gave back the old winter coat of mine, which you loved
It was torn and worn and you said staring straight through me 
"I'm sorry, but I just don't feel you anymore."  

You spoke oh so delicately, the words you were ashamed to say 
"Should have told me the stars,the wind, the rain was how you felt for me." 
It wouldn't do justice, it's light years beyond that
I tried to show you these great things but I was ignored 

Out in the rain I couldn't speak 
I took away my everything                             
No matter what I tried to say, you slipped away 
Spring time is gone, it's turned it's back on everything 
My best laid plans slipped away
When you ran away

The limelight is fading now which puts an end 
To this cookie cutter friendship which lead astray 
To a vodka loving muse whose dear friend 
Is rotting as her creative ashtray 
Reminiscing of gilded memories as she fades to gray 

But perhaps I never loved you that way 
But was so enthralled by the very idea of you 
And the imagination which breathed new life
How could I know for sure with my chance denied?
