Stone Heart

Stone cold Frozen in time. Turn your head away No one means anything. Shrug off the pretense Believe in nothing. Just you... Don't waste time, Indifference thrown away. Frozen, harder than ever Never again Add your layers Brick by brick, ice melts, Can't risk anymore. Oblivious, Each time you rocket to the floor. Turned to stone Keep building baby, Higher and higher... Let no one in This is the only way to begin again. Shielded strength. Turn around, Keep walking, run if you must. Don't stop moving. Head up. Stand tall, chin up. Vision impaired Wipe tears away Sit by self Put your hands together Say a prayer. Company not necessary Stop longing incessantly Don't be stupid girl ! Love does not exist. Stay away if you must. Heart buried. Glacial crust. Stop! Just stop! Please stop. Can't afford to let yourself drop No falling allowed. Cessation failure Just too deep Im afraid of the dark... Empty... A fizzled out spark. I'm done Moving in opposite directions Let it burn Feelings not the same No matter what Don't let your head turn. Close your eyes Shut them out. Invisible sadness. Let it all burn Forget fantasy flowing warmth Only in your head. Replaced ache. Too late.
