Read Me

There are no breaches, there are no gaps.

The dilemma's there but no one adds up the facts.

I relinquish all hope that someone will see.

Why would they seek to fortify me?

I try to be unflinching but the truth is I'm scared.

They all condone this; I guess they don't care.

Heartbreak is trite; I'm tired of it all.

But once I'm down,I can no longer fall.

My tears are latent; my heart is impaired.

Love only deceives; it isn't meant to be shared.

People are adept at killing the soul, incinerating it to pieces until it no longer shows.

My heart is pliant, but I guess you already knew...because even when you used me, I always remained true.

I'm not meant to be exploited or pushed around.

Why is it that when I talk to you, you never seem to hear a sound?

Pain can be perennial; hurt from you is now what I expect.

Lies are cumbersome; when it comes to trust I try to be circumspect.

You can't compensate for all that you've done.

You made me this way; it's what I can't stand.

Some days I feel inanimate. I wish you would take the time to understand.

There are no breaches, there are no gaps, my heart is forever closed up.

Mistakes are inevitable,but you were my biggest mess up.

There are no breaches; the scars are hidden where no one can see.

There are no gaps; it's impossible to read me.
