Poetry

Love is What Heart Disease Is

written by: OurSacredHonor

My words are the moat you're unable to cross
When yours are stuck in your, throat at night and you toss
Syllables around like waves do a boat
And realize it's your loss as you struggle to stay afloat

In between heartbeats a bead of sweat forms
Like the dark, distant clouds in the eye of the storm
You remember to breathe once more and you gasp
Open your eyes and try to regain your grasp

You are the carbon dioxide that won't escape my lungs
Makes me gasp for oxygen just like I've been hung
On your words, on your whispers, on the tips of your fingers
Wrap them tight around me and just let this feeling linger

I'm adorably addicted
To this wound that you've inflicted
From your thoughts I was evicted
Like a criminal I'm convicted
To a lifetime of misery
No visitation, I can't see
You ever again
We can't just be friends

Choking on unspoken words
Provoking joking for attention
Awoken soaking in my blood
A broken token of affection

My heart,
My heart in pieces
My heart
My heart in pieces

We used to have it all a long, long time ago
At least it seems that that's the way that this story goes
I suppose it can end happily if I try hard enough
To brighten things up as it comes to a close
But the close is nowhere close, a noose is the only rope
That I have to climb back up and it's tied around my throat
I wrote this wasn't the end
But I'm giving in
My eyelids win
Let the nightmares begin...
