Arrow Through the Heart…
I gave him the world,
in hopes he’d love me.
He gave it back cold.
I gave him the stars,
in hopes he’d stay.
He gave back embers.
I gave him the oceans,
in hopes he’d be mine.
He gave me the vapor.
I gave him my heart,
in hopes he’d take it.
He gave me the arrow.
I gave him my back,
in hopes I’d forget.
He gave me the knife.
“Your love was an arrow, laced with poison.” And I fell for it like the sucker I am. I hope you’re happy, you don’t deserve it.
But I’ve gotten use to your stealing.
So here, take my happiness.
It’s all yours.
