Your heart is not at the right place
Where your heart is
Lies a source of disease
Said the doctor with a long face.

You say of late you’re losing energy
Cold, cough, sneeze is on the rise
As to the cause of this persisting allergy
I’m left with no surprise.

For good reasons is said
Man shapes his own destiny
Go forward and have it made
Set those poor ones free.

If I had my way
I would have pulled his hair
But just managed to say
This is so unfair.

What damage those poor things can do
Other than giving good company
And I don’t believe it to be true
They are the cause of my agony.

Just because they can’t protest
Winged but still left lame
The doctor finds it best
To shift on them the blame.

Behind specs his eyes shone
His lips quivered in glee
As if he had chanced upon
One great discovery.

If only you earnestly wish
The prospect you truly fathom
Can find yourself a cure for disease

In exchange of their freedom.

Her eyes shift down to the floor
everyone in the room is cold
but she chooses to isolate herself, she chooses
for she does not know any other way to cope
with the unfamiliar who used to be friendly
the deep thoughts which once existed appear shallow on the surface of conversation
while they pretend to care
she pretends to forget
but her eyes!
her eyes will tell them other wise!
They are insecure
even when she is sure
that she would forget the secrets of everyone
and her eyes
her eyes
the thoughts to her soul, shifting, making everyone realize
she is nobody
if it weren't for her eyes

I sit on a swing
Unstable and free
I slide through the air
No one notices me

I sit on a swing
With a noose on my neck
The seat falls out
My life was a wreck

They put up a swing
To remember me by
The swing never swings
Their act was a lie

The tree crushed the swing
They cut that ***** down
My memory is gone
But my ghost is around

Three days to a week.
Twice a month or skip a month.
Day Two and I hurt.

I hope
your heart
is greater
than the
cavity of
sadness that
contains it

Heart's Broken
That's the token
the terrible token of love
Heart's taken
Never reawakened
Never again to be dreamed of.

Tears started pouring
like raindrops on the most
frigid day.
My

so
C O L D
from this lack of love
from everyone around me.
I just want to be warm, to be loved, to feel home.
