I want to be like you (so cold and numb towards love)

by Poison Ivy   Feb 26, 2008


I want to be like you,
Emotionally dead,
With no conscious,
Without a heart,

I want to be like you,
Look you dead in the eye,
And be able to say I love you,
And know that today again I've lied,

I want to be like you,
Detach my feelings from my heart,
Be numb to the feeling of "giving a damn"
Love you today and say goodbye tomorrow,

I want to be like you,
Say words with no real meaning,
Be able to say I care about you,
And with no guilt turn around and destroy your world,

I want to be like you,
Be able to come into your life,
Take what I need at the time,
And leave you with a billon questions that all come down to
"Why"

Why did you say you cared?
Why did you say you wanted to be with me?
Why did you beg me to share some of my time with you?
Then you turned around all of a sudden and said "GoodBye",

Why couldn't you love me?
What's wrong with me?
I'm such a great gal, why can't you see?
All these questions consume all the sanity inside of me,

I gave you my all,
I gave you the best part of me,
No time frames, no reservations, no exclusions,
I handed you the keys to my heart,

And all I have to show from you is
These trails of tears that have streamed down my face,
These sad, sleepy, tired eyes from getting no sleep,
A broken heart, shattered into a million pieces on the floor we once stood on.
