Undead Heart

Undead Heart



You stole my heart and left me dead inside.
You took my heart while laughing all the while
and now my days are grey.
Everything I see is black and white.
Life has no color for me anymore.
There is no warmth.
I am so cold.
I walk.
I live
without heart.

You stole my heart.
I am dead inside.
My blood runs cold.
I was still young but now look so old.
My skin is cracked.
My hair now white and falling out.
I show signs of decay.

You stole my heart.
You plunged your hand inside my chest
and wrapped it around my heart.
You ripped it out while laughing all the while.

Now I walk in search of you.
I only know it is what I have to do.
Perhaps so I may really die
I must find my heart,
find you and rip out your own
while laughing all the while.
