my heart has arms outstretched
to something they cannot reach
my heart shouts in a language
i do not speak
it tosses and turns all day and night
it seems like it can’t keep still
it aches
it breaks
it made mistakes
its pain won’t stop until
you say my name
like you used to
look at me
like you used to
love me like
we didn’t break
each other yet
love me like
none of this ever
happened yet
love me like
we knew what we were
doing this time
love me so I won’t need
some ******* rhymes
to give my heart some peace
a release
please.
