Heartless

Heartless

“You’re too emotionless. It’s like you have no heart. I don’t believe you love me as I love you.” 

I watched them walk away 

As their last words ring in my head 

Emotionless? 

Heartless? 

Don’t they know I have a heart? 

Don’t they know that, that heart is breaking with every step they take  

Away from me? 

Don’t they know my emotions run so high it plays in the heavens  

And forgets to come down 

That my heart is so sensitive that it runs and hides from others 

Don’t they realize that my heart is beats only for their love 

And sometimes it skips a beat? 

Don’t they know my heart is so fragile 

That it built a wall around itself 

Don’t they know that I love so hard that I forget to say “I love you” 

Don’t they know that my emotions are so strong that I have to bottle them up 

Keep them from overflowing  

Don’t they know that I love them more than they love me 

More than I love myself  

More than life 

Don’t they know I’m not heartless?
