Me and my heavy heart 

We are good friends 

I start screaming; she justifies me 

I say I’ll hate you; she says forever.  

An ex-boyfriend gets cheated on;  

she’ll whisper, They deserve it 

Me and my heavy heart 

We’re two peas in a pod 

I take her to school, to work, then home 

She was with me yesterday,  

and she is with me now 

I like music and laughter 

She likes revenge and wining arguments 

We are good friends 

Me and my labyrinth mind 

We are quite different 

I complain about a big assignment;  

she reminds me of the week I had to do it 

I curse someone for bumping me in the halls;  

she says there’s 4,000 other children  

I say I wish my dad died instead of my mom;  

she says nothing 

Me and my labyrinth mind 

We are like night and day 

I like ASMR videos and binging the twilight franchise 

She likes spelling bees and academic praise 

We are quite different 

Why are you so strange? I ask her 

I yell, war! You say, why? 

She tells me she is broken 

She tells me that I am forever stuck in time 

Forever resenting 

Forever holding others to the impossible standards  

that I hold for myself. 

And forever trying to justify my anger 

 rather than justify the mistakes of others 

My heavy heart yells that she knows nothing 

Who does she think she is? 

We aren’t broken  

They betrayed us 

Me and my broken heart 

We are complicated 

I say divorce;  

she says separation 

I want forgiveness;  

she says weakness 

I curse her and call draining;  

she smiles at me 

Me and my broken heart 

I want to go left, she goes right 

I fight with her at school, at work, at home 

I fought with her yesterday,  

I’m fighting with her now 

Inmates chained together 

I want to go left, she goes right 

Me and my broken heart
