Ingrained Deep In The Heart

I must learn when and how
To put my love down.
But how?
How could I ever put you away?
When each heartbeat screams
Your name.
When every desperate breath,
That leaves my lungs infuses
My blood with you again.
You are the very life of me,
And surely will be death of me.
My own veins swim with you
Unerringly.
Tied to love, a heart of ribbon,
That rip wide open to those
it's given.
