Shapes of My Heart

My heart is a prison,
Vitreous, with feelings trapped for everyone to see–
With love bursting it to pieces and
Letting the pain break free.

My heart is an abyss,
Greedy, wanting everything and nothing at all –
With love and life and lust sucked in and
Returning desolation instead.

My heart is a battlefield,
Bloody, covered in wounded feelings –
With corpses of forgotten fights and
Haunting shadows of my lost loves.

My heart is an ancient ocean,
Dead and dark and desperately deep –
With lustrous demons swimming and
Feeding on my saddened soul.

My heart is a universe,
Infinite, expanding every moment of my life –
With a journey into the unknown and
Planets being unexplored.
