Love Poem: My Heart

My Heart

my heart 
has been broken
by 
common circumstance
looking 
this way
instead of
that
blindsided by an
idea
that never made it
back
from a night
of glorious
loving
when you told me
it would last
dancing
in the valley
of rhymes
naked
blinded 
scintered 
by a sun
that never 
set
I buried
the answer
in a hollow
question
carved a path
you couldn’t 
follow
aimed towards 
a vein
punctured in
perpetuity
while circumstance
snuck up
behind me
and kicked me 
in the ass.
