You set your heart on fire

by Jennifer RIP Lesthat Hayden   Feb 18, 2006


You set your heart on fire
And it turned black and dead
Carelessness in your thoughts
Your heart seems cold and dead
Carelessness in your feelings
You don't think about what you say
You don't care about what others
Say
Nothing will change your ways
You're like a scar
You wont go away
You just seem to be there
You're just a wound
A wound that once felt pain
But now you feel nothing
And the nothingness in you
Causes people to show puzzled
Faces as they look at you
You don't seem to care where
You're going
You just keep walking on
And on
And on
And it seems you once walked on Glass
All the blood you leave behind
We find it in your footsteps
All the sadness that seems to
Follow you
It's like a shadow
But you don't feel your shadow
And you don't feel the pain
Others sense there's something
Wrong
But they don't know your story
No one seems to ask
You're just there
Not speaking to anyone
Yet people notice you
They
Wonder about
You
They
Stare at
You
But you don't care anymore
You set you're heart on fire
And it turned black and dead
There's no life
Left
You just walk on and leave behind
The past
But it follows you forever
Where ever
You may be
And you care nothing
Of anyone
And you care nothing
Of me
