Queen of Hearts

I feel like I am imposing
You have this way of jumping up
To save the day so quickly
Always on top of comforting
The hoarse heart beating

I feel like I am balking
Overly scrutinized but under punished
Fine details linger in the wings
Waiting for their showcase
Vicious tug on gentle heartstrings

I feel like I am transposing
Placing myself in places not needed
Traipsing between all for one
And none for you and me
Swaying, sweet pounding heart

I feel like I am fumbling
Secret ballot casting out the heat
Emptiness is more filling then the full
Thrust upon the pedestal by the weak
Vagabond heart ticking

I feel like I am posing
Beautiful bones beneath harsh daylight
Perfectly prim on the outside
Fighting turmoil on the inside
Hidden hearts stop beating
Battered by the day that innocence died

I had to read this a few times before I got everything. To me, it seems that it's about someone who went through a traumatic experience and is now imposing their harsh feeling on other people. Beautiful work. You should write song lyrics.
