A Piece of my Heart
-9 September 2007-
there's a loud ticking in my head
that vibrates from my chest
I thought it was cold for so long
iced over with malice and dislike
but i watched you from across the room
and something stirred
it got a little bit louder and I wondered
as you stood up and crossed the distance
it suddenly became 10 degrees hotter
and I felt the space between my legs melt
as the aura between us shifted
I wondered what its about
I felt my chest open up
and the noise was surrounding
thick blood and flesh
as you put your hand up into my ribcage
and pulled back...
a piece of my heart is yours
and I can't protect it
don't be too distant now
as I can feel you near me
and the coldness is warming up
and I somehow feel defeated
as you turn around and walk away
holding a piece of my heart
and my ribcage is left empty and hollow
It doesn't tick now, expect for when your around
