why does the heart torture?
October 16, 2010
Sigh
not of bore but of sorrow
the breath i held from yesterday till tommoro
but with that sigh no pain escapes
my heart holds it
how strange
why would the heart torture its possessor
perhaps I'm simply not its preferred confessor
It holds my every lust or need
for my soul holds nor it holds only me
maybe the sigh does not come from the heart but from the corner of a soul no one can touch
the soul has no control
for the heart is in power
but why does the heart not cower bellow its beholding body's shower
Why does the heart torture?
