Back Again

You came back, demand rent of my heart act like it was nothing, again we can just restart. You don’t hear a single word I say even when I have nothing left to give away. My broken bones beg for mending for they know just what you are intending. You’re leaving me no room to breathe around my heart place your poison oak wreath. I tell myself to stop this, you’re nothing that I need for I know I can’t forever satisfy your greed. But I believe you’re not ok, so I will never go too far I’ll be the light across your sky, a moment’s shooting star, I’ll breathe in the space where there is no air, I will walk with broken bones, much to their despair. You demand rent again on my heart take yourself into their rafters, let the decay start. And I don’t know why I fight for you this way when you leave my heart in the open to oxidize and decay

If someone is causing you this much sadness, Madison, you might consider letting go of a bad relationship. It's easier said than done, but perhaps you might find someone who will appreciate you. A very sad and moving poem. Love, Carolyn
