Sabotage

My heart is small
It's little, a speck
I swear if I didn't know better
It was gone so I check,
It seems to be there
Time and time again,
But reality comes back
And the love was pretend
I do not understand
Why he sabotaged me so consummately,
And made me look like
Such a pathetic old patsy,
Could he not discern the misery
He was shoring up by degrees,
You sap my life of joy, Rival,
With those words of doubt.
I love and you can't, Rival
And drive affections out.
A red robin and a man
crossed paths
Said the Robin:
"Oh how I long to walk and run
along the earth and ground"
with a sad sigh the man said
"And how I long to fly
Teach me the words that romance your soul.
I need to know how to take control
Of your emotions, well yours and mine,
Before at the seams I start to unwind.
I just can't stop the speed of my mind
There is a pit in my stomach
That could swallow the world.
My vision blurs and distorts
And sees what it wants to see.
