I Gave This

The key to unlock my entire world
Is in the hands of a girl with no love left
Around it, her fingers are curled
No, it is not theft
I gave this to her

The remedy for the darkness in my soul
Is pressed against her side
She's lost all of her own control
And sees only poison to be denied
It’s okay, for I gave this to her

The love no longer returned
Wraps over her as if it were my arms
For so long I've yearned
And I've learned love only harms
But worry not, I gave this love to her

Torn is my soul
Vacant is my chest
My heart turned black as coal
For her I wish nothing but the best
Do not weep, it was all given to her

My only solace
Broken by demons of my own design
No heart is flawless
The burden is mine to bear
Because I tried to give it to her
