How do I love thee

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways:
My scars speak of time and devotion
Two things that reek of prison but
I snapped the key and threw the shards away
Without a second thought.

When I bleed, I bleed emotion;
Millions of words, thoughts, feelings
Held inside me, causing unbearable pressure
As I struggle to retain them all,
Flashing through my body
With every thud of that battered organ.

With every beat of my beaten heart,
I love you to destruction.
