Loverboy

I want to rip out my heart to show you i care.

I want to pick myself up bleeding and broken.

I need you to hold me.

I need you to leave.

Alone,

leave me alone:

It’s all i deserve.

I don’t know what you need.

I don’t know how to be here.

I have to be loved.

I have to be one with another.

Sewn together with dripping red string.

I can’t love.

I can’t rip my flesh open to make room for you.

You show me your heart and it beats so beautifully.

My heart stands still, stuck as stone.

If you’re human then what am i?

A corpse pretending it’s something more?
