You’re drowning your heart
It barely keeps afloat
Clinging by the scars it had been dealt
Those scars are not battle wounds, but
subdued
By your own hands.
Gasping for breath, it desires to lunge
past the broken promises
And shattered dreams.
(And only you can be in control)
Hopeless wonders tears its flesh,
Beckoning you to shield its weakness.
Lost passion, driven by lust
It is breaking away from its origin,
plunging deeper into sorrow.
You have denied your heart its comfort
and it will come
To destroy you.
Not abruptly, but slowly
It will drown you
Just like you have so advertently done to
it!
