Senseless by Melodie Yvonne

Listen to me fall apart
One tug, one string around my heart
Listen to me crumble down
‘Round all this sadness I have found

Watch me shrink and back away
So you don’t see my slow decay
Watch me turn into a ghost
And vacate this most gracious host

Feel me pull and disconnect
So I won’t be a mental pest
Feel me slide and fall and hide
From your sweet whim that I abide

Take a taste of what I gave
To turn your heartless soul my way
Savor all my soul that’s left
An unrequited psycho mess

Breathe in of this sweet vanilla
Wafting upwards toward your pillar
Take a breath for you of me
Then exhale out and set me free
