“Unfaithful Heart”
It haunts me everyday
Dwelling in the pit of my stomach
Like the rollercoaster ride on the first dip
I try to brace myself for it but it never works
Just takes over like I insisted that it come
Clings to me like a mother to a child
A faceless, nameless child
Wakes me out of my sleep in the middle of the night
Wanting me to get up and talk about it
But I refuse
So it hangs around and stays tucked in bed with me
Sleep eludes me until exhaustion wins
I talk about it the next day which gives it more power
It grows strong with each letter, syllable and word
Ready to take over my mind another day
A mind filled with chaos
Here we go again…Brace yourself.
