A Heart Full Of Needles Poem by Paul Celano

A heart full of needles
A down poor of tears
A hammer in the head

How am I happy without you?
You left me with this pain
Can you honestly say you don’t miss me?
I miss you

The stutter of the voice
The death like feeling in the legs
A desert in the throat

You will not call
I can’t eat
I can’t sleep
Why did you do this?
You just gave me up

Shivers down the spine
Numbness of the mind
Paper cuts on the lips

Is this it?
You just want to throw it away
You want to move on
Just walk away from it all

Cramps in the fingers
Rocks in the stomach
Buzzing in the ears

The end of a relationship
