No More, My Heart

 

My heart

Indignant

Lay broken at your feet

 

You didn’t catch it

Though you asked for it to fall

 

“Come to me” you’d say…

Knowing it had to fight to join you

 

But you couldn’t wait

 

Now, here it is

Bruised and torn

 

It beats and throbs to show that it still lives

 

Yours to have

 

But where are you to collect the pieces

And stitch it back together as if it were your own?

 

Gone

 

Was it all a dream?

 

My heart slows

Its soul has fled

 

Its pulse --

 

No more
