little burny heart

By katy may

She feared it more than anything That one day this would come Choking on thoughts and holding back screams confused at what she'd done and yet he wallows in his own self pity When she lye's still with her eyes getting gritty When it's her own heart that’s imploded Her whole world that s exploded, before her very eyes An unimaginable pain in her chest, through her ribs An attempt of connection through finger tips But to no avail, her attempt was in vein For there's no way of dealing or breathing through pain Not this pain, this unimaginable pain Not to measure nor count Like rushes of blood in copious amounts But not to compare, for what would she to? For she's never felt something both boiling and new This aching, this burning The knots that keep churning She imagines her learning to cope through the fire and the smoke But it's all just a haze as the hours and the days Turn to weeks and delays have no meaning A month is a month May as well be an hour There's no turning autumn leaves back into flowers There’s no carving beating hearts out of stone But it's still his stone, lifeless heart she calls home For even if it doesn't beat, Doesn't make a sound She’ll lie next to the lifeless stone until it comes around For in her empty shell there lies one once of hope A crutch for which she leans upon in order just to cope
