My heart feels heavy.
Literally heavy.
The way it did when I had so much love to give away.
It ached for you to take it out of my chest,
For you to rip open my breast,
Grab it, and place it next to your own,
Still beating within your chest,
Whose muscles created waves I wanted to surf.
You took my heart and gave it back quick,
Split in two.
I stitched it back together,
But there will always be a scar.
All that love was forced back into my heart,
But I have no one to whom I can give it.
My heart is sinking and gets heavier with each passing moment.
Every time I see you, I feel it trying to escape,
Pounding against my ribcage like prison bars.
My brain says Relax. He doesn’t want us anymore.
But my heart won’t listen.
It has a mind of its own.
It reminds my brain of all the memories we shared,
And as my heart hurts and tears fall
From my eyes like salty raindrops,
I get further away from moving on.
They say time heals all wounds,
But is time enough to save the Titanic from sinking?
