A Heavy Gift
The devil couldn’t reach me,
So he cursed me instead.
He placed in my chest a heart
That beats to loud,
And never learns.
It cares for hands that push it away,
It aches for voices that never call back,
It bleeds for strangers who don’t even glance my way.
The devil couldn’t reach me,
But he didn’t need to.
He knew a heart like this would tear it’s self apart
And call it love .
