My heart

Fri, 11/07/2014 - 21:57 -- Soulae

I have a big heart the size of two old folks still married, 
80 years together,
Been wearing a ring for years,
vowing to follow what I feel,
It’s real,
I quickly care,
Randomly for anyone,
Blood or not,
The relationship between my heart and I is huge,
It’s unconditional, non-superficial,
But we break up a lot,
Cause she’s optimistic and I on the otherhand, well, I’m pessimistic,
And that pisses me off,
cause the beautiful side of life she constantly draws upon,
But I dwell, sleep and wander on struggles, pain, imperfections,
Life’s demons,
The devils lies, 
The ugly side of society,
We don’t communicate well,
I wanna be hard, like a thug,
run, hide, keep my vulnerability to myself,
But she always gotta be soft,
Let people open her door and come inside her home,
Anxious to talk, show random people who she is,
A kid at heart, 
she loves love,
We bump heads everyday,
Fight each other constantly, 
She wants me to be connected to her all the time,
Listen to her and do everything she says,
Always be true to her and never cheat,
I try to be committed but it never works,
She’s been hurt, 
Scarred by life experiences,
So how she gon expect me to be in a relationship,
I got walls on top of walls protecting her,
My heart is huge,
But she’s just not as perfect as much as she seems to be,
The cracks in the concrete matches the texture of her body,
If you touched her you’d get cut by how rough she is,
We had our separations from each other,
But we’re working things out,
So I can be..
