Heart's Belonging
I don't belong to my heart
sings a different tune,
stranger to me.
Bemused, my heart is broken
from me, like a caged bird
that wants to fly away
and that's when I feel
the pinch and heartache
visiting like an eel in a cave
swimming in darkness.
I don't belong to my heart
crying for love that's never
there, and the emptiness
I know something about.
You better know I'm not happy
screams my heart to my
deaf ears, glued to the ceiling
and the stubborn fly that
wizzes around.
