A Heart of Pain

My heart quivers
Rattles in its cage
For it has so much
That it longs to say

With every clench
It expels words
Every tightening
An expression of hurt

The arteries engorge
Swell under the pressure
As they carry the message
To its listener

Through tortuous vessels
Both lesser and greater
Until at last it reaches
A blank piece of paper
