Prose- but not quite

It’s said…the sun can be eclipsed the instant you blink
But what if you were to staple your eyes
Is this how far you would go, to deny the truth?
Presuming, of course, that what you see is true...

A burdened heart is far too common
And a heavy leg means something else
Would another weighed down body part
Be descriptive of something ‘different’ felt?

They say that love is a painful disease
And that it hurts the most
But can those high flown words do justice
To a tummy that rumbles for a meal complete…?

It’s up to you
What you make of life
And how seriously you take expressions
But answer one day you must
One day you must face some facts
What those would be, however,
To them I am oblivious…
