My Heart (Hurts).

It honestly hurts

My heart

To know that his is beating for someone else’s.

I feel a fierce pressure against this extraordinary organ

That keeps us alive.

Each beat beats deeper into my body,

Harder again my chest

Until the pain is perpetual.

 

It honestly hurts

To breathe.

I feel my throat close up

When I try to exhale his name.

I have to catch my breath

Because he keep taking it away from me.

 

How can he do this to me?

Does he even know what he is doing?

It's so powerful it's overwhelming.

One sound, one feeling

Sends my body into a state of shock.

He controls me.

 

It honestly hurts

My hands,

And every moment that his

Are not intertwined with mine.

They feel empty and floating,

When all they really want is to be held.

 

It honestly hurts

My eyes

To remember the many moment that his locked

With mine.

And now, those moment are cherished

And vivaciously lived through

My memory.

 

It honestly hurts my heart

To know that his is beating for someone else’s.

You did a really good job with this one. Sad and painful, it makes the reader feel hurt with you and for you. Excellent rhythm.
