Take a picture of that organ in your chest

Does it pump with a rhythm not the best?

Are there places in it which haven't merged

Or are you lost, because you haven't purged?



Look carefully at that fine breathing organ

Analyze whether it really felt full, stored in

Your chest, when it touched mine, and skin

Enflamed our desire as we burned within



If you can then say to yourself it was all there

Then those last moments we shared as a pair

Would not have felt so very awkward to me

When I left, my heart would not've been free
