Heart No. 1

Can you see through

My glass cage heart

The one I drained for you

Took out all the love

I’d kept inside

To hand over the reins

And let you drive

Allowed your love control

Over every little beat

The contractions of the ventricles

The pumping of my blood

Mixing it with oxygen

Flavored with your scent

Encouraging it to spread you

Into every fiber of my being

Thoughts of you have filled my mind

For countless days and weeks

So it only makes sense

To surrender body to you as well
