Your Heart is A ShipA Poem by EquivalentExchangeIf I had any other sort of heart It wouldn't have to be this way But it's become so brittle, from the breaking (from the taking) That no amount of empty words Can fill it with love again (love again)
If you were any other sort of girl You wouldn't have to lie (to feel okay) I gave it all up in hope That you might change (you might change)
But you just up and dropped my heart again (my fragile heart)
Is this how it feels? To be an angel When you close your eyes at night (do you regret anything?)
I loved everything we had (all that love) But you could never part with your secrets (that you hold so dear) Even after, I gave all of mine to you (every single one)
How does it feel to hear these words? Would it hurt less (if I just let it die?) It would've hurt a lot less (if you didn't tell those lies)
I still love you to this day (every single day) And you love him more than you can say (could you even say a thing?)
How ironic that your heart is a ship Sailing sea to sea And mine is a submarine diving deeper every wek
Oh how odd that you are in my dreams (every single night) How odd that his hand, fits into yours (just right) © 2011 EquivalentExchangeAuthor's Note
