pH 1

my heart is made of acid
its contents ooze into my stomach
when I bring someone inside it
and wish for them to stay
they look around
lookup and down
and begin to melt away
nothing stays there long
no, no one can
my acidic heart coughs them up
spits them out like they are the poison
but the chemicals reside in me
the toxins that repel the people
the people my brain tells me to let stay
my heart just cannot hold them
all my feelings drift away
