My Heart

My heart and I have been together for as long as I can remember

We encountered our first love together

Dealt with my brothers and my father

Wished joy to some people

Wished pain to others

But I think we’re beginning to grow apart

My heart can’t handle my fears

I’ve got too much on my plate

I make selfish choices

I spend all day acting

My heart is leaving me.

Do I take time to change things?

Go to counseling

Cancel obligations

Find time to be authentic

Is that even in my character?

I’m lost, how should I be able to find my way

Or do I just let myself die

Let the heartache take away everything

Commit to the void

The void that feels more real than living

How do I manage my heart
