Painstaking

If I waited for you,
then why did you leave?
There are no lost memories
no tears on my sleeve.
If you wanted me to cry,
you could have chosen me.

A heart beats in rhythm,
your words are a rhyme.
You can sing me to sleep,
but we're running out of time.
No one's listening,
can you scream that I'm yours?

Words are only words,
they can't feel my pain.
You've broken me to pieces,
but what will you gain?
My heart has sharp corners,
tell me if I start to bleed.
