My heart is closed for business

Yes, that place you used to dump your pain

The chalice you thought, was an ever empty vessel

Is not accepting any more of your emotional poison

You abused my soft kind heart

Beat it, judged it and criticized it until it could take no more

Now it’s blocked off

And it’s taking a stand

Closed, locked, guarded and shielded

Like a knight in a suit of black mirrors

What you hate in me is only the reflection of yourself

And it’s being thrown right back at you

My heart is not your toxic dumping ground

It’s not the church for you to confess your sins

Transmute your own pain for yourself now

My heart is closed for business
