And He Doesn't Care

Once upon a time
I wore my heart out on my sleeve,
Oh foolish foolish me!
He wore a sign that said "look but do not touch"
But did I listen?
Hah!
I became illiterate when I looked into those eyes.
The warnings were nothing,
As I became entangled in his web.
And he didn't care.

He was just too innocent,
I saw no danger in his beautiful eyes,
Little did I realize the corroding poison
That beauty contained.
It slowly ate me away from the inside,
And I soon found
He was no innocent,
But I was too paralyzed with emotions to care.

He promised me the world
He promised me love,
And his charming poison worked,
For I believed every word,
Believing all he said,
Ignoring all I saw,
And I felt for him something I'd never felt before,
And he didn't care.

I touched and laughed as I was burned
Over and over again.
Oh how I reveled in that pain!
How I loved his coldness,
For I was far too warm!
I always wanted to become invisible,
And to him was!
He'd look right through me,
To something far more important than I.

And how euphoria overtook me
As he shattered my heart into a thousand million shards
And tore my wings to bits.
I figured I didn't need those anyway,
After all, he got along without a heart just fine,
Why would I need one?
And flying is overrated anyhow.

You should've seen the way I laughed
As one just discovering the jokes on them
When he finally confessed that he never loved me.
I knew that... really I did.

It was all quite humorous
The way I almost cried,
My face was probably priceless,
As I tried to hold back the tears.

My scars I find are quite attractive,
And I bear them proudly
As a sign for all the world to see,
That I just can't trust anymore.

And he doesn't care.
