Radioactive Heart

Darkness obscured your danger sign, imperceptible but not benign. My dreams flowed into a high electric field, our minds taped and concealed-- Your heart was radioactive; all my emotions were refractive. I sacrificed full support before the strings were cut short. The promising harmony in our memorized words matched us backwards. "There is always a possibility" . . . caused susceptibility . . . Bitten by beating betrayal was a poor, pitiful portrayal. Heart radioactive, skin magnetic, and eyes apologetic-- I emitted isotopic tears as I enveloped my vile fears, A sharp gamma knife damaging our decayed friendship by a half-life. Heart radioactive, skin magnetic, and eyes apologetic-- The nuclear attraction in an atmosphere of chain reaction. Exponentially drifting apart in your radioactive heart.
