The bottom of my heart, dank; cold..

Wait? What bottom of what heart?

Is it even there at all?



That’s right, I remember.

The heart you took from me back in December



Thought it was too cold for warm lies

The break too frozen in place

to ever half compromise



When I had a heart I loved you from the bottom in fear of the top falling apart.
