“Disproportionate Affection” by B.K.

I spill blood out of my seething heart,
And show you the severed strings left of the veins.

Mocked, I am.

The spill is that of spilled milk
as you laugh at the pitiful pile of blue, red, passion.
I explain the jagged capacity 
of my mind.
Yet, it is too much for the capacity 
of your shallow ears.
The soul of my vessel is weary 
of looking at my derided empathy.
I follow the thumps
Of my heart,
Not the aches
Of my head.


Author’s Note:
When your love is seeping with passion, yet it is not being understood, and rather being brushed off as insignificant.
