words written on the back of my heart

i climb inside my skin into my chest and sit in a little corner watching the red slowly close in and i rest my head on my slow beating heart and for the many years it has remained quiet inside me, i hear it, and now i cry, because i feel the pain it feels, the pain i've always thought i shared alone with myself, i share it with my heart.
