My Heart is a Tardis

My heart is a Tardis. You see, it has to be for self protection. It's bigger on the inside because life is full of pain and disappointment on the outside. Just like the Doctor, I take the bad things and lock them away.

 

I have rooms for disappointment and heartbreak.

 

For crushed dreams and unrequited love.

 

For things that should have been but never were or never got the chance.

 

For things that are hurtful, and people who lie, cheat and steal.

 

I deadbolt those away in the rooms of my heart and walk away, hoping time will erase its very existence, or at least make it not hurt so much.

 

And just like the Tardis, I can create new rooms as needed, always keeping space available for the next tragedy. There are so many rooms already, and will likely be many, many more before this timeline is through.

 

My heart is a Tardis. And one day it may explode.
