I killed my Heart… It was Emotional suicide!

I went to the store, bought six feet of rope,

I didn’t have money so I paid for it with all my hope; They asked me if I was making a Swing, I smiled and said yes, one that will take me to eternal Spring;

Walking back home, rope in one hand, heart in the other, neither knowing that they would eventually end up together;

I made a noose, big enough to fill it, tight enough to kill it,

That’s a very nice bow my heart said, It’ll look very nice around your neck the rope said;

As I smiled and put the noose around my heart, it smiled back as if to say “this is really it and thank you for letting me play my part”,

But before I tightened the rope against it’s neck, My Heart stopped beating…

My Heart, Killed my Heart!

Death by hanging, came the verdict:

But I know…

I Killed My Heart… It was Emotional Suicide!!!
