Favor

Do Me a Favor Please Shut Up.

By my sister Rose

I wish my heart would stop talking to me

I wish that it would (just for once)

Let me be

Stop bugging me constantly

Stop being so mean

I wish it would realize how hard it made things.

I wish my heart would stop singing so loud

I wish that it would stop acting so proud

Stop talking out loud

And following me around

It just can't seem to realize this is not allowed.

It's time my heart connects with my brain

And it's time it starts realizing pain

Letting go of emotions it seems to retain

The emotions it retains so tightly

The emotions it handles so lightly.

My heart just keeps walking

Keeps talking and walking

And living and loving

And hating and shoving

And realizing nothing

And never just stopping

Stopping to sit and think for a bit...

About everything that's going on in it...

About everything that just seems to be so wrong with it.

Why won't my heart just stop talking?
