Shut me out

 From afar I glanced

Until I took a chance

When I prepared to crash

You came and lashed (my heart)


I am pretty sure you didn't mean to

And, by God, the hell it put you thru

I could never see it coming

And then I just gave up on you

Because fear is never a good fate

And I would always fear you


Still, you shut me out

I was no menace, just a shadow

But I mirrored your doubt

God it hurts to be left out

Even when I had already killed the halt


Anyway, still and still you cast me out

From your heart straight to asphalt

I feel like roadkill meat, at fault

Crows diving in, sinking in my slot

Heart is there no more
