Arelease

ARELEASE 01-20-2015 I cut out my heart the other day. Pouring its blended liquid back Into the chest cavity with cement. Sealing these feelings far away So they may not be used by you one day Abuse of power with selfish intent Passions unchecked. Focus Misspent. Ardent. Unkempt. Led astray. No truth found in fact. What all this has meant anyway? Any purpose to obey? In obscenity to invent. In nature; Reason, seasoning decay. Experience to extract wisdom I cut out my heart the other day Pouring its blended liquid back Into the chest cavity with cement To bury this decay. To change the way I feel and things I thought I knew Change what I’m expecting too A blended heart mixed with cement Hardens in the hole where it was kept. To bury my feelings- to hide the truth To pay for all we have been put through Payment for a love loss, long spent. A debt, an obligation that grew For unpaid rent. An unspoken truth. The heart is my feelings, the blender was you
