dear abby

i have given my heart away

to someone more deserving.



i have made mistakes

and i have regrets.



my heart belongs back behind my ribs

not in the hands of someone who smothers it.



it's under their foot,

as a piece gum would be



can you help me?

"my heart belongs back behind my ribs
not in the hands of someone who smothers it."

I like this a lot, because it's so simple, but every line contains so much! I've read several of your poems, and I think that they are great.
