What lies beneath you.
As you talk, I listen.
 When you listen, I don't talk.
 You cant break me.
 I'm as hard as a rock on the 
 Outside
 And soft on the inside.
 My feelings lie deep inside
 Seeping into my soul
 Pouring into my heart
 Never shattering my flesh.
 My blood boils with rage
 It sizzles with sorrow
 And it burns with pain.
 No point of living as if i care.
 Keep your worry to yourself.
 Stop worrying about me.
 Love.
 You say you love me.
 Those words ricochet off my skin
 Back into your mouth.
 That word is my enemy.
 It kills every living cell in my
 Body.
 It shuts down my system
 My heart disintegrates
 Turns into dust.
 The wind blows it away.
 No longer me.
 So i have a shield against that
 Word.
 My ears ring, but my body does not 
 Sting.
 So keep talking, and I'll listen.
 Don't expect anything in return.
