Cold

Michael W. Evans 1970 (US)

Forget about me, leave me to be. I deserve what I get, it's plain to see. If ever I thought I deserved anything more, I only need to look at those I adore. Giving my heart to love in the end, only to lose again and again. The pain underneath, I try to hide what I can. My greatest fear, that lonely old man. Grow cold, my heart, I wish you would. I don't deserve any good. Give me more pain, I can handle it all. Grow cold, my heart. Push away, push away, stay in the dark and hide from the day. Poor little boy, stupid and fat, you'll never be loved, you little brat...

By ME.
