How is your heart today?
That beats for a girl you might never have?
That beats for a girl who will never love you back?
That randomly wakes you up in the middle of the night crying for the innoncent love you will never have?
How is your heart today?
Does it understand the love?
Does it hurt when you abruptly scream her name alone and worried?
Did she reject you?
Did she say no?
How kind did she explain herself?
That love is a mental illness?
That love is a dog from hell?
How is your heart today?
Does it ache when you look at her status?
Does she look happier without you in the picture?
Do you feel butterflies when she sends you a random “hey”?Where does it hurt most?
In the chest?
That burning uncontrolled breathing?
You might have a heart attack…
How is your heart today?
That love she refuses to return?
That heart of yours is love but fragile
But continue loving
Some souls don’t know love
Spread to them that light, they need it.
