INNER SCREAMS

I was so safe living in my own little world 
And then you came along 
With your flattering words 
And that irresistible smile

You grabbed my attention immediately 
My heart went out of control 
You derailed all of my thoughts 
And my life would never be the same again 

I trusted you with my soul
And you played me like a cheap violin 
Pulling on the string of my heart 
Until the melody that you sought
Had quenched your deceptive thirst 

You ravished my life 
And then discarded me 
Like the city trash in the waste land

I am broken beyond repair 
Living a life of despair 
Each day I tell myself it's just a dream
But every minute of the day 
Those little pieces of my broken heart 
Screams...
