HeartBurn

There is nothing more uncomfortable or more unsettling then the pain of a sinking heart. You know those moments where you feel like your heart, head, and surely your entire body must be burning? It isn't just because of spicy pizza... in fact it didn't have anything to do with what you ate. It was simply a thought caught in your mind, troubling your heart, and ripping apart your stomach. You sink into your seat, demanding your lungs to keep breathing. Its like being drown in an ocean of fire, the way it stings your throat and makes your head reel.

How can it hurt this bad when I know better? How can thoughts of later still linger after days? I keep pushing for solitude and silence, but still my heart beats against my chest. In hopes the pain will cease, I fill my mind with icy pictures that would chill my heart. The fact still remains, it burns and aches. There is a dull hollow area where a piece of my heart once was. I wonder how many pieces of this little muscle are scatter around the world.

I look up to the heavens and mutter eternity. I focus on this goal, but sometimes the distance is far and dark. There is no light at the end of the tunnel some moments, there is no peace from this burning heart. Walking forward into the dark, I hope to find a hand to hold and maybe help me though the rest.
