My heart, oh you condender to emotion,

Why whisper my name when trouble seems to lend?
Or sing me a silent song of praise upon a gruesome end?

Why with kind words have you fondled my right and wrong?
Or why break and enter into my mind and stay for however long?

Why do you shrivel up this pride and make a fool of me?
Or take my conscience and hang it for all to see?

Why when my envy rages do you flash it all before my eyes?
And take my shame and post it as clear as tonight's skies?

Why when I'm feeling blue do you like to taunt my dignity?
Or find a why to turn me colors and take away all serinity?

Why do you give me back those memories I saw in  dreams?
When I hurt inside, why rip apart the seems?

My heart,
Why do you through it for my eyes to discover?
Like the start of a masquerade party, no other?

Why with all this pain and anguish, do you only me trust?
And why do you allow my soul, the tremble of utter self-disgust?

Oh heart,
Are you the devil for me to find?
Or are you Satan just inside?

Cause if you were, I'd pull you out and break you,
Cause I fear you'd get to me first,
And leave my heart shattered and robbed,
Like that window in the street.
