“Your sunken Heart.”

Your sunken heart sinks deeper in the sand.
You’ll fake it, try not to break it, your smile.
Erase and wipe away those you can’t stand.

You have given all you can to this land.
Gather memories tuck’em in a file.
Your sunken heart sinks deeper in the sand.

You will remember all that you have canned.
Your feet bleed as you run the extra mile.
Erase and wipe away those you can’t stand.

You can still taste the smoke which has been fanned.
Your heart wrapped and trapped in their words so vile.
Your sunken heart sinks deeper in the sand.

Your life hasn’t been what you have had planned.
You struggle and wretch to keep back the bile.
Erase and wipe away those you can’t stand.

You are told you are horrible and bland.
You have let them break your heart and defile.
Your sunken heart sinks deeper in the sand.
Erase and wipe away those you can’t stand.
