If My Heart Had Arms To Reach

If My Heart Had Arms To Reach

A Poem by Kaitlin Siobhan

If my heart had eyes to see
My heart would be blind
From a years worth of tears
Spent crying

If my hearts had tears
It would've killed me
Drowned me in a sea of salt
To end its pain

My heart would be silent
With no mouth to scream out loud
But it wouldn't hide it's tears
If my heart had eyes to see

If my heart had a mouth to speak
It would, instead, decide to scream
With the deep breath it's been holing
Since the first day you touched it

If my heart had teeth
It would chomp holes in yours
Tare and rip so much
Yours would bleed to death

My heart would scream so loud
Not only would your chest explode
But your ears would bleed first
If my heart had a mouth to speak

It me heart had feet to walk
It would wear black steel-toed boots
Better to kick dents
IN YOU'RE CARELESS F*****G HEART!

If my heart wore heels instead of boots
It would stomp instead of kick
A heel leaves holes for oozing blood
And would leave a bigger mess

I would stomp and kick
The night away and past the morning sun
It wouldn't give you chance to talk
If my heart had feet to walk

If my heart had arms to reach
It would tare right through its cage
Rip through muscle and through skin
And reach for yours

If my heart had finger nails
It would dig real deep
Squeeze it's plams real tight
Till you brust

My heart would not ignore a cry of pain
But laugh in recognition
My heart would show no mercy
If my heart had arms to reach

But my heart is just a muscle
Locked away inside my chest
With a barrior to keep it safe
Since it gets no chance to rest

And my heart
Despite thick walls that protect it
Still feels a world of pain
Everytime it sees your face
And everytime it hears your name

And my heart
No matter how enraged it is
Could never hurt a fliy
Since it has no limbs, no teeth or eyes
Just a brain to question
"Why?"
