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.
