My Heart is Road Kill
All day and night I think
 Only about you.
 In my dreams I see you
 During the day I watch you
 But only from behind the sad gloomy bars 
 You put up to separate us both.
 You left me here
 Road kill
 Is that all I am to you?
 I’m still alive though
 My heart bleeding
 My face soaked
 With the tears you caused.
 I took a risk
 I crossed the road
 You ran me down.
 You shattered my heart
 And you don’t even bother
  To try and pick up some of the pieces.
 I’m lying here now
 Open wounds and all. 
 Your tires pushed me away 
 Crushing me 
 Leaving me for dead.
 Your brights flashed in my eyes
 Blinding me.
 I’m not dead
 I’m quite alive.
 I certainly feel dead though
 I feel lost and alone too.
 There’s nothing I can do 
 Nothing I can say 
 To change your mind.
 It’s too late.
 You and your shiny black car have moved on
 Just like that. 
 I’m forgotten
 My heart and I. 
 On the side of the road
 I’m still me
 But in the eyes of you I’m
 Road kill.
