Heart Once Warm Turned Cold And Dark

Carrie West
TBS Contributing Writer

I taught you all the tricks.
You keep them up your sleeve
I build you a path,
but you used it to leave.
I taught you have to take
advantage of the naive.
But you chose to use your knowledge
to make me believe
the lies that you conceived.
You caught me in
the web you weaved.
Your heart is black.
Your eyes are cold.
Your absolute mind holds
a story untold.
But if I could tell you one thing,
it’s that you stole my heart.
You can keep it with my tricks,
as long as we are apart.
