Hold out your hand

I’m claiming what’s mine.

You tried real hard

To sneak it out of my chest

And slip it into your pocket

And think I wouldn’t miss it.

But after I went numb,

Felt no pulse within my soul,

I realized what I had tried so hard

To guard from your wiles and tugging

Had gone missing,

And I know where it’s hiding-

In your palm.

You played me like a fiddle,

Now I’m playing you like a drum.

That sound you hear is my heart beating,

It’s still alive.

You though you shattered it

And tried to tuck the pieces back together

With your Elmer’s glue,

But it was never really broken.

And when you tried to fix it,

That glue you used,

Those pretentious lies,

Made it slick

And it slipped right out of your grasp.

I though I had won.

I though I could walk away

And remain victorious!

But my victory cry was cut short

When you went behind my back

And showed me love;

Showed me all the things I thought I wanted,

Until finally

I saw past your deceitful brigade

Right through to you,

And saw within your palm

What belongs to me.

I want it back.

Hold out your hand,

I’m claiming what’s mine.

You’ve stolen my heart

For the very last time.

A/N: YAAY! I love this one. Tell me if you do, too! :) Thanks!
