god damn it, 

i'm not talking about my heart 

like it's something you could break. 



there's no convincing you 

i'm not sick. 



when i say "heart", 

nothing comes to mind. 

drug stores make me feel good. 

think of silver around my wrist, 

i'm not well. 

your chest is a cage for my letters, 

and your handwriting's better than mine. 



god damn it, 

i'm not talking about my heart 

like it's a tinfoil valentine. 



call an ambulance. 

i don't want to walk home alone.
