The L, The O, The V, The E

The L, The O, The V, The E

I found a hand in my heart
The one that you gave me
Without the fingers or blood or skin
Just the bones and blue threads
I thought I could drown myself in.

I found a hole in my heart
The one that you gave me
With bladed tounge and soft lips
Just a tear in the middle to close with a zip
I thought it would beat with ease.

I found a word in my heart
The one that you gave me
With the l and the o and the v and the e
Just four letters that made it stop its beat
I thought I would never break free.
