A battered heart, full of wounds and tares heavy with tears.

My battered razor cut tormented heart So tender so heavy and full of tears My heart sunk into the consuming unforgiving fathoms Of the darkest deepest coldest sea The waves never washed the tears away The crimson blood bled and dispersed diluted Eventually vanishing into obscurity The pincushion remains of my tender heart Just festered and decayed Under layers and layers of silt Never missed unloved, out of sight And out of reach.

Dear peter, this is so powerful and so well written in such a creative manner: so soul hitting and eloquent how you’ve expressed here. I especially love the way youv written “ My heart sunk into the consuming unforgiving fathoms Of the darkest deepest coldest sea“ that speaks volumes really! Unforgiving fathoms, when heart sinks there, can be overwhelming! A fave this is for me! Loved every line in this.

Hurts are meant to be felt. Where happiness lays, love visit so pain comes along. Cheers Peter.
