Burying My Heart

I’m burying my heart

because it gets me into trouble

I ripped it out

Because it wasn’t mine anyway

It’s six feet under now

So that I can’t change my mind

It’s forever down in their

Along with the pain

As I stand stolid over its little grave

My chest aches

But it’s alright

Because it hurt more when it was inside anyway

The silent beating in the dirt

Pounds in my eardrums

It begs and cries to me

And yet I turn away

Now months go by

But you have seemed to dig it up

I marvel at why you want it now

When you didn’t want it while it was inside

Is this some kind of cruel joke

To make me fall for you one last time?

But, I guess you can have it

It was always yours anyway

Even after all the pain, you gave it

Never really loving me

It will choose you always
