oh, my heart

clutching my chest
such a pretty pain
you really have nothing to gain,
do you?

arrows are sharp
but shiny around the edges
useless pledges
who's that, beside me?

I can't recognize you
except for that feeling
it's far too sickening
I wake up, tired.

I have been with some significant others who have made me wake up very tired.
a shock to the love system I now avoid.
You are a very good writer...I am enjoying all of your poetry...
You are quite succinct and don't waste words.
