Since you love poetry so much

My heart longs

And not in that cheesy desperate for something I've lost way

But in a very sincere stretches out for 25 miles happily just to see you kind of way

it hurts.. It's not safe for a heart to travel that far away from its body you know?

this heart is no good, it leaves destruction in its path and bloodies up all that it touches but at least it knows what it wants..

This heart is no You, there is no beauty here, no canvas full of color tightly knit to create that feeling it so desperately wants to convey, just smears of red embarrassment

All or nothing you say

You play with it, treat it as if it was an animal

Paying attention, pretending you understand it but eventually growing tired of its advances during dinner time

Say what it wants to hear to keep it close but please not too close

Just In case you need to feel wanted for just one second more

Before you grab your next branch.
