Chest Pains

Even though love is not created by the heart, there is a cavity in my chest where it once lived. It broke out of its prison of kisses and walking in the rain and comfort and it sits in the tree weeping like a willow. It then jumps from the branch and lies at the bottom of the trunk. Beating slower and slower, sadder and unable to accept, it beats one more time, as to say,
"I love you, where did I go wrong?
I tried my best to be perfect.
I just want to make you happy.
But then you didn't want me.
You broke me.
Some say time heals all wounds.
But time wounds all heals"


As I run over, stumbling over each foot as i step, I fall to my knees and cry. My tears bring out a few more beats that in words,
"Do not cry, do not be sad.
I am at fault.
I tried so hard, but not hard enough.
But now you have nothing to worry about.
As I fade, so will your tears."


I begged and pleated it to stay and that I will do better, that it wasn't its fault. I would hold it when I could and that it could freed from its prison. I sat there crying, declaring my love for my heart. But it wasn't enough... I wasn't enough. It said,
"I will live again.
If I'm supposed to beat for you,
then I will be back.
But if not, then I will fade along with the feeling."


I could barely breathe and as I became weaker and weaker, my heart laid at the bottom of the tree, I drifted away. My heart made me feel more alive than I had ever felt, and now I am slowly dying. Dying from depression, and because I lost the one thing keeping me alive. I lost my heart. I loved it more than the stars in the skies and the sand on the beach. But just remember, my heart left me. I didn't rip it out of my chest and walk away. I even went after it. It wasn't the heart who wasn't enough, it was me. My heart didn't want to keep me breathing nor have a pulse. I have become heartless and a broken who will wonder this blackened orb we call earth until I find someone who can find me a donor. My first heart will never come back, and I will not recover for a long time.
~Sigh~ Goodbye my heart. I never thought we would part, but if our paths cross again, then fate is more cruel to my emotions than the cruelty I faced that day.

  2. The direction you took in this poem was a direction I did not expect. The poem showed a different out look that really showed an artistic eye as well as raw passion.
