my glass jar

Adrift among memory, a man found a girl
Like life plays out, he fell in love
His lifeblood spills out, she soaks it all up
Only to poison it and shoot him in the heart

Imagine a blackbird trapped in a box
A memory prison, more solid than steel
Picture my heart, beating and alive
Inside a glass jar, cold to the touch

I gave the one that invisible prison
She smashed it, and for a moment I was free
Only until I realized what she did to me
The shattered jar left my heart exposed
Glass broken, shards impaled my heart
She wore her clay mask of lies
Unfortunately I believed her disguise
I remember all the kisses, staring in her eyes
I'll forever be wondering why, forever why
