I Wish...

By TornPaperDoll

I wish you could see my beauty
As little as there seems to be
And I wish that for a moment
You could see inside of me
You could look at my heart
All blackened and bruised
Empty and drained now
From always getting used
Then maybe you’d understand
Why this is all so tough
For me to share with you
Even after you’ve shared so much
If only I knew you wouldn’t flinch
At the scars that cover my body
Then maybe you might know why
Letting you get near is too hard for me
I wish you could’ve see my eyes
About ten years ago
Before they shined with hate
Defeat, depression and woe
Maybe if you saw the stains
Of the bloodshed in my mind
Then you would comprehend
And I wouldn’t have to lie
So, here is your heart back
I shouldn't have taken it before
I've nothing to offer you
Because someone left my heart, bleeding on the floor.
