I hear him coming and I ask, "Why me?"
He only comes for my tears and then leaves.
The pain that accompanies the merciless claws
Leaves me with deep wounds as well as scars.
My eyes blink away all the salty rain
But I can't blink away all of this unbearable pain.
I run so quickly yet turn to see
and all I see is what has become of me.
I am bound by heavy, iron chains
But I feel the movement pulsing in my veins.
He's ripped open the most tender of parts
But worst of all he's stolen my heart.
I lie wondering what I could have done wrong
When he whispers in my ear, "Why, you've just loved too long."
