My heart is
Sliced into shreds
By a butcher’s knife
My tears drip to the floor
And mix with the blood of my
Bleeding heart
Tag heartbreak
Flowing River
I manage to stop.
Choking back my tears I smile.
Until I remember.
The river flows again.
Hidden
If only
My thoughts were kept
Inside my head
If only
My heart was held
Inside my breast
If only
My words were silent
Inside my mind
If only
My smile never faltered
From my face
If only
My eyes had sparkled
Never melting tears
If only
My hands held flowers
Behind my back
Perhaps then
Perhaps
I would be the one
Perhaps I would be
The one
Band-Aid My Heart
My heart is drowning
In oceans of its own tears
It grabs a quick breath
Before sinking below the
Surface of my sorrow
My longing
My pain
My loss
Band-aid my heart
My heart that is broken
Apart
Shards of Glass
My heart shattered
Into shards of glass
You saw my shattered
Heart and with love
You gathered all the
Pieces and held them
Carefully in your hand
