Heart

When we began,
Your heart pumped through your mouth
While mine beated silently, if at all.

Gradually
You became as heartless
As I became fervid.

You felt too little
While I felt too much.
Hence we broke apart.

We were like a heart
Rancid, yellow and still –
Our love was long dead.

Yet in our minds we saw the heart beat,
But  the heart was  in fact decaying, decayed

Long before we took notice the odour of dead illusions and hopes.
