Ticking

My girlfriend has a heart. Not the type that eats away at human beings from the skull down, one that is caring, with it's own legitimacy. Yet she has heart disease. When allowed to work overtime her co-workers ridicule her, and her dad yells at her, to spite any loving gesture. I found her trolling with a baited hook, hoping for a fish without teeth. Every fish has teeth. How long until i hurt her?
