"Sometimes I'm terrified of my heart, of its constant hunger for whatever it is it wants. The way it stops and starts"
- Edgar Allan Poe

Dear heart,
Maybe if you could translate the meaning of your heightened pace
Let the sun warm your cold embrace
I might be able to keep you safe

You get so scared every time someone steals you away
But they put you right back in place, don't they?
Just tell me what you want and I'll keep you safe

Dearest rose-scented, glass-fenced, once effervescent
Eternal machine pumping out grey toned blood through my veins
Why do you feel like a bird in a cage? Tell me how I can loosen these chains

Why do you change everyday?
Please make a decision, for my sake
Am I suppose to leave or should I stay?
