If you will take anything
Take only my heart
For poor as it is
I have nothing else of worth

If you speak
Speak to it gently
For it is ignorant of all things
Save love for you

If you journey
Carry it carefully
For it overflows
With need for you

If you wish to keep it
Forever it is yours
For it can never
Fit the hands of another

If you go
Do not return it
For I will have no need
Of an empty heart
here to win
or here to run?
~much love

I went to the store today,
you weren't there.

I hope you're well,
that things are good.

Life is bad, worse, here.

Mine.

It's always dark out
and I'm so sorry anymore.

I tried my best to stay sane.
Love you.

I'm a bad person
Trying to make the world
A better place.
I'm a mistake
Trying to repent
For my hurtful,
Toxic,
And malignant ways
Before my inevitable
And unceremonious demise
-
Good actions,
However,
Can never replace
Nor diminish
The truth of a life
Filled with regrets
And burned bridges
