My heart.
It just wants to know love without being broken afterwards.
It just wants to love someone without being torn down.
It just wants to be full and complete again.
But will that ever happen?
My heart tells me one thing but my gut tells me another.
Sometimes I have to listen to my gut because my heart is too broken to realize what's best.
Sometimes I have to listen to my gut because the irregular beat of my heart shows it's too weak to know what to do.
Sometimes I have to listen to my gut because I can't bare to listen to the sound of my breaking heart.
But sometimes I listen to my heart so I don't have to bare the pain.
The pain of my heart shattering inside my chest at not doing what it wants me to do.
What I want me to do.
But sometimes what you want isn't exactly what you need.
Our hearts are crazy at times.
They want what they want.
Sometimes you'll end up getting hurt whether you follow your heart, or not.
Our hearts are wild creatures.
That's why our ribs are cages.
