Dear Heart

Dear Heart, I’d like to file a formal complaint It seems that your an obsessive overachiever That you take your job a little to seriously Dear Heart, Please stop breaking yourself into a million little pieces- Because you fall in love with ideas and hypotheticals Because you color people before they can show you their true aura Dear Heart, Why Why do you find every crumbling transparent excuse for the world But somehow you make yourself bleed Why can’t you put up a wall against the hailing obscenities Why can’t you knock down that wall for a genuine whisper Dear Heart, You were supposed to be a road map to happiness But it seems I’m lost somewhere between I love you and I miss you You are supposed to find contentment in success and lessons in failures But you grasp for the next and the regret Dear Heart, I know your tired and broken But Brain is telling me to tell you to stop crying Dear Heart, I’m sorry I yelled at you I’m sorry I thought a bandaid was enough to fix you Dear Heart, I know your Shattered- But I promise I won’t lose the pieces
