Cardiac

Heartache is a cancer  
eats your bones down to the marrow  
holds on tight when you should be in remission  
like addiction  
a drug you can't get out of your mind  
it doesn't matter how much time  
I relapse  
 
I relapse  
 
I relapse  
 
I fell right into place  
I didn't know that I could be erased
I saw the shadows lurking on your face  
as you lied to me to secure your brace  
my demons rejoiced in my masochism  
my love for you, turned its back on self-heroism  
scars on my knees; you were impossible to please  
now you look at me with indignation  
seven years and my heart still wants to give out when I breathe in
