No More

It is a work of art Really beautiful That of the heart When it is full But when there Is no love inside And no one to care It’s something to hide For the broken edges Are deep and black Shattered wedges That peel back It still beats but Slowly and loudly With the groaning gut It makes it’s plea To be fed Like it was once before But that love is dead And can feed no more

Poignant, yet strong in your lines. It needs to feel better than the pain. At the very least, peace...closure. Each sunrise we live is a priviledge. We must embrace that. This was very deep. Great job!
