Bleeding Heart

BLEEDING HEART
 Whose blood is this that waste
 Like the water from a mistaken
 Open tap?
 Oh Romeo of our ages!
 Why hath this befallen me?
_
 You vow to be my ever lover
 And i place you in my heart
 Forever and ever
 I put you in a place where
 You will not shiver
 But your heartless action caused
 Me Lassa fever
 _
 I put you in a place where 
 blood flows
 Thinking you will enhance
 My psychological growth
 But you appear a predatory
 Night Owl
 And pierced my heart with
 A poisonous Arrow
_
 Now my heart bleed of betrayal
 Betrayal of such a damsel
 Seems peculier
 Peculiar in the sense of immemorial
 Whose fault is it that am dying
 As Romeo the lover.
