Bleeding Heart
A loss left my heart ripped
A memory still makes my heart skip
I wonder what still holds it together
Pounding on and on in a chain of pain
My heart is empty but heavy
For not belonging
For always longing
It holds on to someone
Someone far away and done
It’s always aware of its own pain
Always somewhere my mind can’t reign
I sink between heartbeats
To a place with nothing
With a heavy load of nothing
And the throbs are counting to nothing
I robbed myself for nothing
I need a graft
A new heart to escape this durance
Healing not coming with endurance
Time measured by pulse
A heart has its own path of life
Sometimes the body and mind can’t find
It wounds and healing is of a different kind
But how do I stop the bleeding?
And how does a heart bleed?
