That Feeling
This Limp In My Heart...
By Nate Bowens

This limp in my heart
this bruise in my head
all make me reminiscent
of how we swam
in the middle of the night
how the smarmy moon
made my chest cave in
and there she nestled
content
It makes me wish
I hadn�t given
your letters back
in a fit of indignation
It makes me regret
not kissing you tonight
It makes me hate
loving you
and you not loving me
How do you make
someone believe
that you are not whole
without them
and how do you
convince them
that they should make you so
How do you tell
this deaf man
�You are everything!�
How can I trap
this butterfly
without crushing
it wings
So I hold his hands
and cry
wishing I could hold them there forever
wishing we could fall asleep in a park
knowing neither will happen
So my heart limps home
and I cry alone
