chest pain

My heart is too big for me today;
​I feel it physically.

It swells up,
​takes up more room than it should,
squeezes out all the rest.

outward pressure...

Open & pulsing;
​a messy puddle
​to be careful not to step in
​because its deeper than it looks
​& dirtier & more
dangerous:

​You could catch something (contagious)
& that could hurt.

​it does,
It's too big & too close;

​Like a full-moon
drawing me up & out
of my body,
​exposing me to the dark.

​Its too dark outside my body;
too dark to be out
without my eye-sockets
to cry tears for my heart-puddle.

​dryness,
​coldness,
darkness,

​& chest pain.
