Black as coal



Heart black as coal,
You ripped it out and left a hole,
I hate life and all that comes with it,
I want to end it with a quick slit,
I hope you realize some day soon,
I would have gave you the moon,
Dont sit there and lie me,
I can clearly see,
I'm was a game to you,
You said you loved me too,
You lied to more than just my face,
Where my heart should be is a empty space,
I gave you my all,
In the end you brought me to a crawl,
Don't say your sorry when you know its a lie,
F*ck love now I'd rather die,
Than trust someone else,
Where you left welts,
I had 152 pictures of you,
Your the first person I ever drew,
I dreamt of you last night,
Woke up with a fright,
I wish I could lose my sight,
So I didnt have to bare,
To see you in someone elses care,
I'm sorry I wasn't enough,
Being with me was so rough,
You'll always have the last of me,
Imma leave to live by the sea.
