Only So Much a Heart Can Take

There is only so much that a heart can take before it stops beginning to feel. Once the threshold is met, it lets go to protect itself before it stops beating for good. But for you, oddly enough, even if mine stops beating, I'd still risk that to make you happy. However, it's disheartening though to feel and quite possibly know you would not do the same.

But to do this, I always need time to pick myself up after being plummeted to the ground by you.
