Sleep, slumber in the dark

Peacefully close my eyes

Stillness devours my heart

Silence quiets my cries



Awake staring at the clock

For hours just listening

To the screams of its tick tock

But something else is missing



Yesterday I loved you so much

And it’s been almost a year

This morning when I got up

My heart finally opened its ears



My mind screamed, “It will never work!”

Shouted to just move on with life

My heart had never been so hurt

It cut like a thousand knives



But I finally talked myself

Out of loving you this way

I put my feelings on the shelf

And played make-believe all day



Tomorrow I’ll do the same

Until my heart is convinced

I won’t mention your name

I won’t drop you any hints



Me and my heart will be just fine

As we build ourselves a wall

And if you don’t enter my mind

Maybe it won’t fall



I haven’t spent a lot of time

With just my little heart

It’s been occupying my mind

But they fought and split apart



So now my heart is lonely

And needs a friend to turn to

So I’ll wipe up it’s tears again

Besides, I had nothing else to do



Maybe me and my heart

Could catch a Friday matinee

Throw ourselves a party

And then we could run away



You see, my heart has never let me down

It’s always felt the way I do

This whole time it’s been around

So now I have to see it through



When my heart was beaten up

I was there to sweep it off the ground

And every time I’ve ever cried

My heart would always stick around



You probably think I’m thinking of you

As I’m sitting here writing this poem

But you’re wrong; you’re not in my mind

It’s just me and my heart here alone
