The Hearts Little Love Story

Fragile knocks against her protector

My little heart is frightened

Is the newcomer friend or foe?

The angel of haemoglobin

She knows her chambers are hollow, no blood beats

Empty atrium

In fear that the blood will drown her

The one that controls it all, is so far

Cardiovascular control centre

The messenger curves around them both

Nerve impulses

Sending letters back and forth

The SAN becomes wild

Breathe in.

...

She waits

                       No response.

She chokes

                      Where was her saviour?

She dies

...

Beeeeeeeeeeeep.

And that was the story of the little heart, who wasn’t connected with her brain, the blood cheated her. And she died a horrid death, isolated from all organs; her friends, her family.
