Glass Chest

I built a body out of silence
Stitch the seams with second chances
Hold my heart behind a glass chest
Hoping no one see the damage

You touched the pain like it was sacred
Said you'd never break what's fragile
But love's a scalpel when it's honest
And you carved your name inside me

Now I'm bleeding verse by verse
Every line a little worse
You rained me like a prayer
Then left with blood pooled at your footsteps
I'm not healing, I'm dismantling still
I'm not healing, I'm just hollow
Echoes fill the space you borrowed
This mannequin still stands
But the heart won't beat again

I tried to paint over the rupture
With songs that sounded like closure
But every note just cracked the surface
And let the truth seep through slower

You said pain makes art eternal
But I was never meant for display
I was built to feel not to be watched
As my soul ached out in grey skin

Now I'm bleeding verse by verse
Every line a little worse
You rained me like a prayer
Then left with blood pooled at your footsteps
I'm not healing, I'm just hollow
Echoes fill the space you borrowed
This mannequin still stands
But the heart won't beat again

If you ever come back
Don't knock on the glass
It's not silence, it's a scream
That forgot how to ask

So I'll keep bleeding verse by verse
Till the ink runs out or hurts
This isn't art, it's aftermath
And I'm the frame you have crept
