A Deluge In My Heart

A Deluge In My Heart

My heart is a titanic in the middle of the sea
Waiting for the ocean waves to rise monstrously
Emotions have now become ice-bergs
As my sightless heart crashes into the bergs
Like a blind bird crashing into a tree
My titanic being devoured by the sea

Pain of all the lies and betrayals
Have left my heart with lines and trails
Causing a leak behind my eye 
Tears dropping down to my heart
Leaving an abrupt deluge in my heart 
My heart is flooded and my brain left dry

My heart like a ruby panting fire
That burns all form of life and feeling
Making excuses of how it is a form of healing
Saving only what is pure and will survive
Gnarly rising, the deluge is reign now
Slowing the fire down not realising how
It is purifying the dark pines 
That are sharp and painful like sewing needles
The deluge left my heart deserted and feeble.
