What Remains of My Heart

Another day, another existential trial
I hurry along down my next life path
It's better to keep on moving than stay trapped in denial
I gave life my all with everything I had.
-
Yet it still wasn't enough; why do I feel hopeless?
I did things by the book, but rules were meant to be broken
Nothing can ease this creeping sense of numbness
And what remains of my heart is on display like a token.
-
What remains of my heart will burn for you
Please cherish me, I can't take more abuse
I offer you all my being, with blemishes and scars
I have nothing else to offer but what remains of my heart.
-
This fragile organ's still dancing thoughtlessly
Where's the love and the empathy?
I got burned by wearing my heart on my sleeve
This toxic world has got me down on my knees.
-
What remains of my heart will burn for you
Please don't lie to me, I need to hear the truth
I offer you all my being, both the physical and the spiritual
I'll accept all of your being as long as it's mutual.
