heart burnout
by Amy NiggelMy mind is weak
my hands are shaking
and quite simply put
my heart is burnt out.
You always told me I'd burn out to the end
flame hot and fast
and disintegrate into nothingness again
though nothing is ever truly returned to nothingness
since matter can be neither created nor destroyed
as some archaic scientist decided
and that means all we are is broken down again
into our elements
but I was always out of my element
when it came to being in love.
Maybe you were right
I was doomed from the begining
a burnout to the end.
Loving you was a flame too hot even for me. 05/04/2004 Author's Note: half asleep sorry this probably makes no sense at all it'll probably come down shortly
