my heart's too big for my chest
couldn't wrap it in a tube sock
without the seams tearing
as it pulses for the love
of whom i dream of every night
it bleeds at the sight of the moon
and the sound of his voice
and the sight of her soft blue eyes
and the sound of the lyrics that keep me up at night
it's spent nights crying for the boy who left
more than it would like to count
and it'll spend more whispering
sweet thank you's that he came back
it yearns for the love it gives
to the stranger on the sidewalk that i pass
every tuesday afternoon
it screams in pain as i tell it to stop beating
just for a moment
so i can catch my breath again
and perhaps i dream of that day
when it stops
so my chest finally feels light again
