glass

 there's a draft coming in through the crack in the door
wrap me up tight tight
but the chill stings my face as the tears start to race
and i'm alone without you again

i gave you my heart and i can't take back
i don't want it back, that's the truth

but didn't you know, didn't i tell you
my heart's made of glass
it was a caution, a warning for you

and you must have dropped it
let it slip from your hands
cause i feel shards digging into my chest
a pain that can only be explained by you

now my lungs, they're injured from breathing too deep
and my eyes burn from the unwanted tears
i can't stop my body when it shakes so violently 
so i'll lay here, consumed in my fear

like a ghost starts my radio and plays the songs i hate
the ones that remind me of you
were the songs that that once made me smile
when picturing your face chased the nightmares away

they're back at full force
and they're attacking today

the chill from the door hits a thousand times more
and all i want are your arms to warm me
but your touch is like ice and it burns through my skin
sets a fire, it burns me alive

and all i can do now, is scream in hopes that you'll hear me
but your ears are as deaf as bats eyes are blind
i wished my words could help, hope that you'd understand
but there's no hope for me no more

i gave you my heart and i can't take it back now
i don't want it back, that's the truth

i wished you'd been more careful when you decided to hold it
now i'm broken glass on your floor

Wow, stunning and well written the emotiona expression combined with imagery
to transport the reader, I also really liked the flow and form, beautifully done.
