Carve You Out of My Heart

I’ve got to Carve you out,

Of my heart today. 

Even though I love you, 

Thoughts of you they just can’t stay.

You only bring toxicity, 

When you come around. 

So, if I want to save myself, 

A carving is going down. 

I’m not sure how I’ll do it, 

I know that it will hurt. 

But nothing could be worse, 

Then the words you sling like dirt.

I wonder if I’ll bleed more, 

From the wounds you gave to me. 

Of lies and hate and bitterness, 

Or will my heart finally be free.

No one really knows, 

But I just know I have to try.

For If I leave you in my heart, 

This pain will make me want to die.
