i've tried every way imaginable to shatter my own heart, but how could you claim ownership and imprison me here?
i’m desperate to escape.
i've been screaming, "let me out!"
at the top of my lungs,
but you’ll never free me, will you?

you’ve managed to reassemble the broken shards
you shattered so many times.
i trusted you with my heart,
never expecting you’d control it.

i begged you to handle it with care,
but you ignored my pleas
and twisted it to your will.
now,
i am the one trapped inside,
isolated and aching,
with no dominion over my own heart.
i sit here, drained and desperate,
searching for a way out.

please, just let me go.
give it back.
