My Heart

I'm running out of thread

My heart has broken too many times

I have to use duct tape now


It'll never hold

but some part of me

must think so

because I keep on going back

to fix it


I've lost a lot of pieces

along the way

Maybe that's why

it always falls apart


I'm giving up now

My breath falls short

whenever you are around

The effort to stay alive

is too much for me


I've tried too many times

to be okay

but I struck out

I am not okay


There is tape all around my heart

and that's all there will ever be

The next time it breaks

I'm not fixing it

because I just ran out of tape
