The Return of Heart From Darkness

there was a moment I felt our hearts brush, there was within time a thought, mine you would crush those inhumane moments within the walls of your world, stripped me of feeling and all my emotions unfurled threads of memory drift through my mind, I pick up the ends to try to make them align I have flashes of joy that pinpricked our life, but the strongest in visions are the ones staged of strife I remember all the love you stripped from my soul, I remember all the nights wishing I was once again whole these agonies I’ve bled on my wedding dress, I’ve erased, the seeing of you ripping my flesh so these words aren’t wrought within the pain of despair, for I choose to remember the very best we shared there let the Road to Perdition that I traveled with you, carry the heartache and pain so we can say this adieu the thought I now cradle to the end of my lines, is of laughing and smiling in the heart of springtime your power has fallen and can’t hurt me again as I sit here, wonder, was the beginning worth the end
