Sadim Heart

Everything he touched
Turned swiftly to dust 
And chains from the pain 
That remained seemed to rust 
But the truth is his heart 
Was an inch and a touch too 
Far from the love that he knew was enough
And the curse on his soul 
As he spoke was a crutch 
For the dark and the harsh 
That he knew that he was 
And it waxed and it waned 
And it ebbed and it flowed 
But alas he was gone for 
His joy had he sold 

And nothing more
Could his heavy heart hold

You see everything he touched 
Turned simply to dust 
For the lies and deceit 
He could see wasn't trust 
But the truth was it came 
And it left in a rush 
And the joy that it left 
That he took wasn't much 

For everything he touched was 
A grain in the dust
