Erractic Heart
My heart bears the deepest scars.
It's been broken into many pieces by different people.
Some of the wounds refuse to heal.
Yet it still yearns to love.
My heart is slightly enlarged.
It tilts to the left,
and murmurs when it speaks.
It seeps blood from a leaky valve.
yet it finds the strength to beat.
My heart is filled with happiness.
My mother's blood flows through my arteries,
and runs rampant through my childrens veins.
One day my erratic heart beat will cease,
but its rythmn will live on forever.
