Broken Bleeding Heart Cured
“I felt that I breathed an atmosphere of sorrow.” ? Edgar Allan Poe
My heart is shattered in sadness,
Like a jigsaw with missing pieces.
I know my soul is irrevocably lost.
Oh, how I envy those
who casually forgive and forget,
and pass to pastures new.
But I am not like that.
I cannot eradicate my feeble feelings.
Like the mists of a dark clouded dawn
they linger all day long.
I shed no tears; I did not smile.
I was like a cold forlorn statue where
city doves dirty and rest.
Alas there was no rest for me.
Gloom, void and sadness
engulf me like a dark putrid lake.
She came back, tear eyed.
I could not forget that she came back.
Why did she leave?
I never abused her, never hit her,
never looked at another
for I loved only her.
And she came back.
Angry, I felt the injustice of it all.
I slammed the door on her once and forever.
Melancholy enveloped me like winter’s gloom.
Inexplicably I decided to search for her.
She was not to be found.
So why cannot I forgive myself?
Why cannot I forget her?
Why must I live forever in dark despair?
Until I saw her in a church.
Tears fell down her sweet smooth face.
I knelt down near her.
Father, forgive our trespasses
As we forgive others.
I turned her tearful face
And gave her a long kiss on her hot lips.
