Jean Murray Poet Verse

Bleeding Heart

I am the heart that bleeds, ever since I met you.
Drops were falling onto my soul.
Drip,drip, ever so slow....I didn't know.

I am the heart that bled, from all the love I shed.
Trying so hard to please you.
Drop after drop, until I stopped loving you.

I am the heart that broke, literally from the hurt
that you inflicted. Never could have predicted
Just how cruel you could be to me.

I am the heart that beats stronger each day.
Since you went away.
Leaving behind my flesh and blood.
Who made the pain go again.

I am the heart of this family.
We are strong without you.
I have no regrets, thanks to you
I begat three hearts, that now beat as one
with mine.

My heart will be fine.
