When He Breaks Me

When you break, which I know you'll do
You'll break off the black to reveal red
You plan to show the world my true colors
Show them I am not the monster my mask may be
You plan to reveal my secret kept so long
Life is hard and funny at times, so run away
Shards will fly when he breaks my heart
Like a bone that has healed in the wrong position
With doctor like hands he will fix what is mine
He loves to heal what could not be healed alone
With his course gentle hands, he grips my black heart
And he breaks the hardness that is around it
With love in his eyes he pulls away the blackness
And with love he washes the red so that it is bright again
Blood runs from my heart being broken again and again
It must be done to heal what has been become of me
He breaks away the layers of each boy who has painted my heart
Trying to cover up the very redness of its purity
He shows me what love is with the way he breaks my heart
He rubs a healing potion into the wounds he made
He wraps my heart in the finest of silk bindings
So that it will heal in the right position
And then he smiles and walks so slowly away
To let my heart heal from him breaking it...
