My tongue stings with a hint of blood
Pouring in like a wild flood
The sound of chirping birds
Pierces my ears with undefined words

My crusted eyes creep awake
Bringing me back to the reality of heartache
Warm feet brush the cold tile
As I stand, I try to raise a smile

They say it gets easier everyday
But all I can see are streaks of grey
Rippling through my mind
Making me wish I were blind

I never knew how a heart could break
It scared me, how much someone could take
Your entire heart
And rip it apart

And yet here, I sit
In this wanderless pit
Using my five senses
To never again, let down my fences.
