Your Words

Your words

You threw them at me like missiles trying to destroy me. 

At first I ducked them, watched them fly past me determined not to let them touch me or hurt me in any way.
I threw back my own missiles that landed on your head like bombs made to destroy you.
I dived, I fought back, I told you the truth you'd been asking to hear. But your words...they confused me. They amused me. I wasn't sure why they were there or what you wanted me to do with them. 

So I ran back to fetch them and wrapped each one in the softness of my heartstrings, the ones you'd so gently snapped into a million strands as I softly came behind you weaving them into a blanket I could put on my back to break the wind that flowed in when you left that door open on your way out.

I cuddled your words and protected them. I traveled with them. Barefoot and naked I shielded them and let myself to the elements because I had to deliver them untainted, pure and hot as they were.

I took them to the one who carries my heart. I placed them at his feet as I kneeled down. I lay them there like an offering. I kissed his feet and I offered your words to the one who would know what to do with them.

"You gullible fat idiot bitch! " 

He has them now. Your gift to me is with the king.

There are no hospitals for the broken hearted
Just mental asylums
Because they know
That
No brain can function out of sync with its heartbeat

Ever since you left my heart has been beating out of rhythm

Because they know
That
If it's truly broken then your heart is Shattered in pieces
The veins that connect it to your brain are destroyed

My heart no longer speaks to my brain
Everything is disconnected
My body doesn't know what to feel or how to act

There are no hospitals for the broken hearted 
Just mental asylums 
Because 
They know you must be seeking a safe place for your brain to hide 
If your heart suffered that much damage
