what have you done with my heart?
it beats for you
there have been others in the past
and their hearts have gone cold
why must you take mine?
my heart is aching
it burns, it breaks
i feel it shaking
a longing for embrace
heart and soul,
this soul is not yours
this world has forbidden it
it cannot even try.
do you hear the cries it sends?
confused and lost
i hope you cannot
as it would kill it if you heard
my heart is dying now
and there is nothing to save it
it is not your fault
or the ones that came before you
yet after all, i wish
you could listen
if only
once
--------------------------------------------------------
and now, i live my life for you
pressure that i cannot hold
pressure that you cannot know
as you cannot hold it either
and now, i give my life to you
i will bend and transform to your desires
as i know they change
i can change with them
i have been taught how to.
i was made to be perfect
a beacon of shining gold
that people would flock to for warmth
but, pyrite shines as well
and those that followed were unaware
if you knew i was pyrite
if you knew the gold was that of fools
the pressure would break you
and the pressure would break me
if only i was gold, i could bend
i could wrap to your will
i could snap to your side
i could live and die by your word
if you gave me the time
but pyrite still shines
and i cannot let it dull
for until i am gold
i will stay silent
i will stay sleeping
i will stay shining
and
i
want
you
to
break
me
