Stops My Heart

The smoke that leaves your lips
Stops my heart.
It eats my mind.
It consumes my thoughts.


The venom you spew
Stops my heart.
It spreads through my body.
It prickles my skin.



The lies you sling
Stop my heart.
They block my air.
They clog my veins.


The way you look at me
Stops my heart.
It chokes my words.
It forces my eyes open.


The love you steal from me
Stops my heart.
It stops my heart.
You stop my heart.
