For it was not into my ear
you whispered, but into my heart
that longed for your sound
It was not my lips you kissed but my soul
that wanted to dissect my heart into shreds
to keep it in repair
for it had five chambers instead of four
The atria and ventricles were filled with love
And the fifth one in the middle contained ‘you’
It was located between the retrospection of my love and life
Each day it pumped about two thousand gallons of blood for you
The blood of my passion and faith
of my hope and desire.
Being expanded and contracted,
it did beat one hundred thousand times a day
only for your life
But now on this Valentine's day
no more I carry this heart of mine
I only bear my memories
and my memories are bearing my heart.
For Meggie's Love Challenge
