day 18

you are still here
you are still sitting comfortably on my plush heart
you make demands sometimes but i have mostly ignored you
but yet, you're still here

my plush heart has sunk into my hollow gut
be careful love,
don't get eaten up by the acid

or maybe you should be

maybe...
you should be digested
broken down
nutrients and vitamins sucked out
to fuel my blood stream
to pump my heart full again

to dissolve into salts and minerals
so i can take the best out of you and excrement the rest
let my body digest you
because for 18 days i've been constipated

my heart at a standstill
afraid to beat again
lest it stir up another round of constipated heartbreak

i have taken too many pepto tablets to remedy you
so, please love, get off my plush heart already
i will no longer ingest you.
