tender heart
life enervates
love braces
ok, my last one was 3-4-3… so if you must have a 5-7-5:
love’s effluvium
unrequited love torments
bemused little heart
an enlarged heart tells
of cardiac injury -
cholesterol stuffed!
Butter is so good
Arteriosclerosis
Exercise I should
you flutter and flop
but don’t ever stop, that’s good
slimy, shiny heart
