the taste. i know

By Exodus

Return my disfigured heart.

A pitiful excuse.

My denial.



Hand it back over to me.

The ball is in


My court.




It is your turn


To feel it tear right out of you.

    Hah, that's awesome. Short, driven, and cutting. "The ball is in/ My court/ it is your turn/ To feel it tear right out of you" is great... it sounds like you're talking about ripping out hearts, which is a favorite pasttime of mine.
