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.
