My Heart's Voice

Perhaps I don't listen -
Or I don't understand,
How it whispers quietly,
About how to deal my hand,
I barely hear it, if at all,
To be honest,
It seems so very small,
A little beating thing,
Inside my hollow chest,
Not like it can sing,
Its more likely to arrest,
A bit silly, I admit,
A loose wire to my head -
This heart doesn't connect,
So much seems unsaid,
Perhaps I'm just deaf,
And even though I'm listening,
It's a vacant stare,
Like it's just ...missing
In a wandering, forgotten lair.
I heard my heart once -
And I truly started to live,
It woke up to shout and scream,
"Stop being such a div!"
But that was an emergency,
So perhaps my heart's just lazy,
Lost it's voice,
Dampened by other things,
Like the singing of my liver,
And the creaking of my springs,
I can't think of many explanations,
Maybe she's just shy,
And sitting there alone,
Just wondering why?

Broken Thoughts

What does being happy feel like. 'cause I sure don't remember. It's such a distant, vague memory, slowly blurring and floating further and further away each day.

Choose Fire

Who are you. Walk away, come back another day. Oh selfish soul that you are, don't worry for I am far. I creep around your world, to make things fit. The sentiment is not reciprocated.
