Hard Black Stone

From a hard, black stone

You tore a piece of me

I never thought you could hurt me

And yet here we are,

There she is

Waiting for me

Willing to risk it all

But I can't do the same

Because you turned my heart

Into a hard, black stone

Now it's getting easier

She's willing to help me

Unlike you

Who denies we ever happened—

That we ever were

It's safe to say I'm over you

That my mind is now intact

My heart no longer a hard, black stone.

She saw me grow, helped me

I love her now.

But part of me knows

That you still have a piece

From that old, hard, black stone.
