EXTRACT MY HEART

Extract my heart
For it loves
And deeply cares
Such toxic things
When not reciprocated
Pent up emotions
Deep with ache and want
Just let it go
As it is in
Another’s hands
To waste away
Not truly mine
So just take it from me
Void my love

WHY DO I HOLD ON?

Why do I hold on?
Every touch
Every smile
Your beauty and grace
Keeps me coming
Your support and non-judgment
Oh how I love
Talk about false hope
For I keep spiraling
As I tell myself
Move on, tis just a crush
And yet here I am
Holding on to this thought
Like a kid on a shooting star
Can I just let go?
