Compartmentalize my Heart; Relationship Diagnosis :
Narrative Poem

I can compartmentalize
my heart
Throw my emotions in the glovebox
Along with the spare drive thru napkins
I can resign
When the check engine light comes on
I pump the breaks
Knowing,
I fired on all cyclinders
Emotionally drained
until, I have nothing left to give
Don’t worry-
in terrible weather, my intuition is like a ABS system
I DO NOT
need a OBD 2 scanner to diagnose
The code for you,
being hot and cold.
Even when I run on fumes,
at the risk of my car,
combusting,
nay explode
I will limp my heart,
And car home-
Before, I ever let anyone tell me
I don’t know what I want”
This type of guy is a no go!
