Heart-Shaped Impressions

I know he feels trapped.  Not by me, no.  I know that it's all heavy-handed circumstantial chaos.  I know that maybe I forgot to believe in my own brilliant instincts.  I took the truth and twisted it.  And it's the kind of action that can strangle, suffocate, and stifle--because it isn't true.  And what I want is the truth.

So, I'm going to take it.  And I'm going to write it out, even if it's wrong.  Even if I can't find the right words.  Because I don't fear being foolish, or throwing my heart out the window of a proverbially moving car.  Sure, it might hurt.  Sure, there's always the potential that it will get run over, end up as some kind of slightly twitching road-kill baking in the sun.  But if you don't throw your heart around every once and a while, how is anyone ever going to play catch?
