she says
i have a heart of gold
but it only helps to weigh me down
she rivets and halts the world at will
just to prove thats shes still around
and she needs to end my imperfections
just to prove that she can
doesnt she sound more like a man..
she wonders why i bother to care
she will stop the wind in its very wake
just to relish the sound
of everyone's meager heart break..

I like this, and bet you can stretch it out a lot longer with no loss of vitality.  (I did stumble over the word "meager" every time, though . . . both for meaning and rhythm.)
