I'm Breaking Now

Blood-shot eyes see through forsaken lies
When you promised me the world, my heart melted
Yet, here we are, our lips pressed together
And my mind is far away from everything you are
My love bleeds from the pain your words have spread
Shards of glass press ever deeper into my skin
Over and over I lie to myself and you, pretending always
But I cannot deny my emotions are barren

I cannot bring myself to share in the warm emotion you feel
The memories we have shared are frozen in laughter
But my mind can only seem to recall the vague hurt in your eyes
No matter how hard I try, my heart remains cold and frozen

I cannot continue to lie to myself and to you
I’m outside your picture frame and the glass is breaking now
