Heart
Heart.
Noun.
A hollow muscular organ that pumps the blood through the circulatory system by rhythmic contraction and dilation.
The rhythm of my heart pounds against my chest, the longer I am with you. Your flirtations fill me with frustration, and the elation on your face is apparent.
I feel my emotions bubbling up waiting to erupt from my-
Heart.
Noun.
The central or innermost part of something.
I stand in the heart of a room. And when you appear in the door, I suddenly see and feel nothing. Nothing but you, for you are my something.
You take a step toward me and I feel that I am going to implode form my-
Heart.
Noun.
Two equal curves meeting at a point at the bottom and a cusp at the top.
As your hand guides small doodles on the back of my hands, I think I’m just about ready to drop. Mop me up and help me be better, help me feel better, help me- help my-
Heart.
Noun.
The condition of agricultural lands as regards to fertility.
Your civility leaves me awestruck. How can someone so perfect have the ability to drive me to this point? I can feel it all coming up. It’s all waiting in my-
Heart.
Verb.
To like very much or love something.
I have realized that you are my heart. But, I am not yours. And that, my heart, is the single most painful feeling waiting in my chest. Pounding, scratching and aching to escape whenever I'm with you.
Heart. You have mine. And I had yours. But you took yours back. And I’m willing to leave you mine.
