Little Black Heart

Sweet face

Sweeter smile

Cute pink lips

Pale every then and now

Looking like a angel I could have been

But you took my innocence

When you took me in

I was perfect, nice and sweet

But what you did

Made my niceness retreat

Warm heart, cold hands

Imagine the damage that can be done by man

For years I lived in the wreckage

Of my childish heart

But life caught up to my slow start

I stopped feeling what you did and became the crow

I know what you did, and now they know

I carried the shame and burden in a heavy cart

Lost my warmth and love, so I'm little black heart

Didn't seek love for a while

But I'm not dumb

Having a little black heart makes you numb

It gave me some time to think

About what was done

Now my little black heart is beating on and on
