I have this feeling
deep inside of me
it's grown over the years
taken root inside me
as if it will be there for a century
it was slow to grow
but now its a part of me
heart and soul
except my heart feels lost
I can't breathe
the tightness--
i seize up
my heart is breaking
over and over this
growth, like an ivy, tries to
climb over and through my will,
my strength,
what little love i have left
yet it cannot win
i cut it down, i find distraction
i find solace in the silence within
my heart is encompassed in the vines
they squeeze, and rip it away
yet i always find my way back
like an adventurer i vanquish
the evils of heartache
