Love Poem: Red Heart

Red Heart

I have in my deepest heart
All the people and all the things
That keep me up and draw bright red numbers down
I saw the side of marriage that children fear
I fell for some one I shouldn't have
I fell for two some ones
I broke a lost heart
I woke up a scaled king
I helped shatter a mind
I drew a dark letter on my life
I confessed my heart, drunk on the phone
I was unproductive
I let things happen
I let people manipulate me
I fell for a goddess who can never bless me
I cried
I was afraid
I drew another dark letter
I colored it red
And then I did the worst thing in the world
I just kept digging that dark hole deeper
I only have myself to blame
And the scariest part is
It only starts out red
