#arteries
You **** with the balance of chemicals in my brain You control the pace of which my blood flows in my arteries You possess my body without being physically present

\ Balance /
They told me to open up,
 So I ripped my heart out
 and sewed it to my sleeve
, Only to be told that 
it was ugly. 
I rearranged the valves and the arteries;
 Changed its beat,
 Until someone told me it was beautiful 
and stole it from me. I searched for years at every street corner, 
In every alley way and 
‘I love you,’
 But I couldn’t recognize it. 
 I met a man
 Prepared to exchange my heart for his,
 but I had none to give. I stumbled across it one day,
 alone and sitting in a gutter.
 It was bare, cheated, broken—
 It felt right at home.

I know where the broken hearts go.
The light bulbs burst when you walked in, And the sparks ignited my skin. The fire was still burning long after you were gone, Until I was charred to the bone. I recall how you clawed at the meat, Right above where my heart beat. Your red eyes glowed in glee, Until I could no longer see, Blinded by the one thing That I thought only you could bring. Then I heard the snipping, As you cut the strings And began humming to my screams. A harmony of two extremes. When the flood lights shone through, There was no more you; Only a permanent deformity And ripped arteries.

Destroyer
A seed which was sowed in fertile land Remains in the dark to some extent And suitable environment makes it, "grow" With great determination, water makes it, “glow” And it declares one day, “The land is alive” As the seed was alive Alive one can prove the others' life A dead one is not able to enlighten the souls If you are alive Prove it with smile and your transparent inner sight would be able to merge the light at a concentric point of hearts of deserving ones As an eternal light emitting heart can enlighten the soul As it’s the heart which makes you dead or alive So life is reflected by deeds not by pulse And it’s no use of Whether the blood runs through the arteries or not Whether you take exercise or not Whether you are wealthy or healthy Life is something else Life is something else What makes an eye, seed can not try What makes an eye, seed can not try

WHAT MAKES AN EYE
—*In torturings and pains, all arteries and veins*. You stole my heart. Why couldn't you have just taken every vessel with You too?

Torturings and Pains
I'd be the blood pumping through the red network of your veins. I'm de-oxygenated I'm not the 02 (for you) that you think I am; that is why I vanished from your arteries I tried not going for your heart but this is the flux; the plethora with emanating tidal waves that I could not counter-attack
