Love Me Back

My heart beats twice because yours is broken my lungs kiss yours because yours is blackened

By T. LichtPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Love me back

My heart beats twice

Because yours is broken

My lungs kiss yours

Because yours is blackened

My mouth speaks for you

Because yours falter

My mind thinks of you

Because yours is frozen

Love me back

When my arms are around your neck

Because you can’t hold it up on your own

When my legs walk for you

Because you won’t face the world

Love me back

My heart has cracks too

My lungs have holes too

My neck falls sometimes too

Love me back

Show me something

So I believe you aren’t as dead as you seem

Show me something

To see all I’m doing isn’t futile

Love me back

I can’t bear to see you this way

    This made me feel so sad. I can understand these emotions. Wonderfully written.
