she says my heart is too big it barely fits i say i can feel the veins slithering down my wrists i was born with walls so thick no human eye could see where i began and where i ended i could feel my heart hammering away at my ribcage it wanted to get out when they tore down the walls and brought me into this world they didn’t cut deep enough she talks in pulses and palpitations and every time my heart flutters she loses her breath i tried to tear the walls down myself i couldn’t cut deep enough she says something a thump a thump thump but my heart is too big it’s the only thing i hear the only thing i know there’s not enough room for two i can feel my veins overflowing i can’t cut deep enough my heart my big, big heart spilling through my ribcage it wants to get out *if i want to let you in i have to let it out*

tear the walls down
she says my heart is too big it barely fits i say i can feel the veins slithering down my wrists i was born with walls so thick no human eye could see where i began and where i ended i could feel my heart hammering away at my ribcage it wanted to get out when they tore down the walls and brought me into this world they didn’t cut deep enough she talks in pulses and palpitations and every time my heart flutters she loses her breath i tried to tear the walls down myself i couldn’t cut deep enough she says something a thump a thump thump but my heart is too big it’s the only thing i hear the only thing i know there’s not enough room for two i can feel my veins overflowing i can’t cut deep enough my heart my big, big heart spilling through my ribcage it wants to get out *if i want to let you in i have to let it out*
for miriam x fun side-note, i was born in my amniotic sac.
