My heart is intertwined with gravity.

The heaviness is felt

throughout my entire body.

My emotions are deep,

and I sometimes can’t sleep.

Thoughts of you run rampant.

The breath in my gut feels resistant.

I can’t turn my back and walk away.

My mind tells me that I wouldn’t last a day.

You say our love cannot be,

but how can you not see,

what this is doing to me?

My heart feels as if it may burst.

I have searched, and searched, and searched

for the strings that lead to your heart.

Share your love with me,

and then tell me,

what it is that you see.

I would fight for the rights

to your very substance,

and do it without one ounce of reluctance.

Feel how my heart beats when you are near.

Can you feel what I am telling you?

Listen close, for you must hear.

It is painful knowing that you are there

and I am here.

Do not question, for I am sincere.

I have never felt this kind of pain,

and oh the pouring rain.

As I lie here, I can feel the rhythm

of each individual beat,

from the top of my head to the soles of my feet.

In the absence of your favor,

I feel torn like a sheet of paper.

Please don’t allow my sorrow to continue,

or establish this my appointed place of venue.
