Outside The Boundaries Of A Friend

Avoid the mirror lest I break it with the stone that serves as my heart
Accept this pretty package named friend
Except this it entails love not so attractive anymore
Accept this pretty package named friend except this it entails love

Love, it's never as pretty as it seems
And now it never was at all
No it never was

All I asked was to be important
All I wanted was someone to trust in my eternal scheme
Your act of friendship means nothing
Friendships are weak and nothing is dear to me

Acquaintance stole my confidence, my humor
My compassion, my solace
Left me with myself and laughed as it walked away
I refuse to be your tolerance, I will not be your embarrassment

I'm not so attractive anymore, I'm not so attractive anymore
Take this burden away I can only stand in
Front of a broken mirror for so long
Staring at the reflection of failed attempts at love and a black heart

My heart once nourished with hope and compassion
Now as black as death hope and compassion
Now as black as death as black as death
I'm not so attractive anymore

Trudging forward
(I am nothing more than scars)
Broken devoid of love
