Penguin Heart
I swear up and down ill never touch it again and really I've tried
But every time I feel down its the place that I hide
I relapse and relapse each time leaves me hollow
Each score brings the high then depression to follow
Dependent on you this fleeting obsession
The fear and self loathing too deep to mention
I keep coming back though I know it's unhealthy
I say I just use it till I'm happy and wealthy
Every time a new ***** a hole to a world apart
My love seeps out in blood from the track marks on my heart
I trust you with my son, my secrets and my life
But I can't trust that i would ever be healthy if you were my wife
It quivers and aches
It burns and it breakes
Consumes you inside and out
Its rythm can torture
And deliver exposure
To an inhumane growl
The body is ******
And this burden is shady
Without its energy
Life is gray
Pulls in the harvest
Lights your way
Its nothing to degrate
A light beat
Desides your fate
Skip it
And it will imitate
A greater hate
That's meant for the opposite
Unless its broken
:P :D

Above all else,
Guard your heart
For it is
The wellspring of life
And the most fragile thing
You could ever have.
I think I've read these lines somewhere but I can't remember where and when so I dont take full credit for this. I just posted it coz I think it is worth sharing :)

Heart is wild
Stubborn
And selfish

It wants
What it wants
Without second thought
Of consequences

It hurts
When it gives away
Its feeling
To the void

But it never learns
About the past
It keeps going
Oh wild, wild heart

— The End —
