Heart
Discover how much your heart can hold.
(no limit to amount)
5,500 quarts of pulsing liquid, 71 milliliters per beat, 5 liters per minute; 62,000 miles of intertwining veins and arteries; 2 ounces of 80-proof something 3 times a week; just enough adrenaline to cause an attack.
--
(definitive emissions)
A thousand broken promises; pages of secrets; innumerable wishes, smiles, impulses, scars, excuses, light; so many mistakes; a minimum amount of lessons; pieces, too many pieces.
--
(corresponding frequencies)
As much of a person as can be had and compressed, sacrificed; just a bit of unattainable peace; a few untamed beasts; sincerity; jumbles of questions; just a few hits, just a few, before it'll break.
--
(effect)
Faces, four or seven; unrestrained passion that won't be stunted; lengths taken, not calculated; "blood" that burns; so many beats that don't stop or seep through, that no one hears.
--
(prior experience)
Much more than it used to, than it would have had to before; extra jolts of electricity; inhuman amounts of pressure; disturbing amounts of extra tubing; clinging wires; just enough of everything to mar its original composition; four chips to keep it beating, even when it should stop.

AN: This was the one I wrote without much thought; it came out so fitting I was surprised when I looked back on it. I don't mean I didn't have to research—because I did, and it was very interesting; not interesting enough for me to double check-- or figure out which phrases matched, just that when it came to figuring out the core of each piece it was fun. Though it was themed after Valentine candies, this was surprisingly dark. The first phrase for each was taken from my Chemistry homework; I remember looking down at the page and picking out random things that I thought defined each.
