Despair Disowned

I reach into my soul
And pull out half a heart
Shelled out and eaten whole
Just a discarded part

She must've gotten bold
But now that's finally old
A past that's been forgotten
Left behind a heart so rotten

But you see it's not so bad
You glance at me, you're looking sad
I glance right back but shake my head
She shelled a fake, a toy instead

It was me but it wasn't, see
It won't be what it was to me
I and she weren't meant to be
But you and me's easy to see

There's nothing left of her inside
No longer from this fear I'll hide
These walls that stand now stand alone
For I no longer call them home

A spotlight shone on shadows deep
And what before would make me weep
Is now so known to be my own
And this despair, false love, I've grown
Can finally be disgraced, disowned
