Heart Of Nothing

Fri, 08/23/2013 - 23:31 -- HollyB

It all begins with the human heart

A heart

1 heart

Has 2 sides that work overtime

Because of those 3 words

And 4 chambers of which you are incased in every single one

Currently you are standing in front of me staring at me

And all I can do is convert oxygen into carbon dioxide

Im not the smartest of them all, but I know when you leave me breathless

Because I know that when you walk through the doors

I am under the influence

Because you are a substance

That is so infuriatingly intoxicating

And I am driven to madness

I cannot convey the feeling

No not the feeling

But the sensation that makes my skin crawl when you touch me

Because even if tonight is the only night we will have together

Then tonight I will let the moon speak for me

Because as it shines down on your skin

You feel a sense of peace

That I want to share with you

Ive never known love from a true heart

But you are as pure as the silk white sheets that I wish to lay you down upon

And show you how I feel

Without having to speak a word

Sometimes love is wrong

But most the time it’s right

And I want you to know that I will keep my promises to you

Because a broken promise is the downfall of trust

And if anything my trust is as good as my word

And my word is all that I have
