Heart on My Sleeve

L-0-V-E

1,2,3,4

Its funny

Love is an even numbered word

Yet the odds are still against me

I used to wear my heart on my sleeves

Now, ha

Now my sleeves are rolled up

What does that mean?

It means I forfeit the game of love

I gave up the Disney prince expectations

I abandoned my hopeless romantic ways

I left "think with your heart not mind" alone

I backed out

Blatantly surrendered

Sadly threw in the towel

Tradgically walked away without looking back

I quit

I quit

I quit

I...

I rolled up my sleeves

The sleeves are rolled

Final cuff is rolled

Its rolled

The love is dead

And my heart will be buried under these layers

Until it can be resurected again.
