Plastic Heart

by BreatheNoMore   Oct 2, 2005


Bury me beneath the earth's soil
And leave my crumbling plastic heart to decay
You would expect that after years of exposure
This noxious element would melt away

Yet it still remains, with only solution
Painted by minds lost in allusion
What remains is not worthy to save

Plastic heart
So easily crushed
But the shoe of any thoughtless mind
Cannot degrade the chemical love
My indifferent maker has left behind

Film of toxicity
Dictates when I breathe
Feeding me a claimed anecdote
That only modifies substance temporarily

Please love let me in
And let me alter the way you see
I could end it all if only
Leave me well alone
But please don't leave me lonely

To fall upon my knees
In the highest pitch of sorrow
Synthetic action taking over
My frail heart never returned but always borrowed

In deciding to deliver notice
I fall paralyzed without response
Thinking all has taken charge to violently abscond
Intensity is not sacrificed
All aware that emotion leads my logic on

Heart of plastic anticipating such need
Once the liquid drug has been consumed
The user finds no other use in me
So burry me beneath the soil
Leave my insides to decay
Shielded by solidity -Material essence of pain
Virtually impossible
To ever be taken in place
