You never really gave me your heart
You left me at the threshold
Barricading my feelings to a corner
With the facade of an open door
I could never really infiltrate
You sapped all I had to give
Roping me deeper with your buttery words
Even when I noticed
I was another conquest
On your pirate journey
My feet refused to drag me away
I loved you hard and you broke me harder
Now like an over worked machine
I mal function every single time
My heart flutters
