Bleeding Heart

No matter whom it is,
no matter how much you love 
them, when they are taken 
away, your heart bleeds…

When God needs the one 
you care about and love, in
 his house more than he needs
 them on earth, they are taken…

You are left with the memories 
within, even as your heart bleeds 
with sorrow…
