The Dark Place
I thought nothing could break me, I thought I was a crystal.
Yet I feel broken, I am no longer naive and warm, I am refined and icey.
Everything is hard and rocky now, nothing is as simple as water.
It's as if no one sees me, like I'm invisible and clear.
I used to be oblivious, gullible and transparent.
Now I feel vulnerable and exposed, like my heart is out in the open.
You messed me up, you played dirty while I was clean.
You used me up and threw me away, the pain I feel is cutting.
My heart is broken, my chest feels empty, cold, chilling.
You’re gone and I’m alone in the silence.
