My Little Heart

 The sight I see is all in red
It's all I see as I lay in bed
It's because my tears are a crimson rose
But why they are, nobody knows
My body is filled with this crimson color
It flows out one ear, and out the other
I have stained my sheets with this brilliant red
It fills my life and controls my head
So I try to sleep
A sleep that's so deep
That I will see black instead of red
The red that just fills my unsteady head
But what is this ache
That keeps me awake
This burning in my chest
Just underneath my breast
I look at my chest, but i cannot see the pain
There was nothing there, am I going insane?
So I thought to myself, it must be inside
I tried to rip myself open, and as I did I cried
Clawing at my chest, the crimson is flooding out
The pain is so unbearable, I couldn't help but shout
I peel away each layer of skin
To see what is causing the pain within
I lay there open, my whole self exposed
I look inside to see what use to be enclosed
What I saw inside, I couldn't believe what I found
A perfect crimson heart, that was perfectly round
I reach my hand in, so that I may steal
This heart that's inside, that I couldn't believe was real
I took a closer look
At this thing I had took
It had gorgeous veins and was a beauteous red
So this was what was going on, this is whats controlling my head
I sigh with relief
But now I feel grief
For what I saw
Just left me in awe
There was a huge crack inside of this beautiful heart
A crack that could potentially, tare it apart
I decide to put it back
For I know why it's cracked
I know what it wants, I know what it needs
I know why this heart has decided to bleed
It's in love and wants the love of another
But it's love, is also in love with another
So now the heart just breaks
And continues it's aches
I keep feeling it's pain
But at least now, I know the pains name
It's name is love, but I just can't understand why
Why do we want love, if it just makes us want to die?
I don't understand you little heart
But I won't let you fall apart
So I will now put you back inside
And now together, we both shall die
