Caverns of the Heart
Cracked crevasses
miles deep
Explode in thundering booms
as they spread
into hollow and empty rooms
Replacing the chambers
of a bursting heart
with desolate echoing caverns
Splitting what remains apart
unraveling the fabric of our life at the seams
We are carved by an unforgiving river
fed by frigid tears and scissor-like streams
Pulverized into a frozen slush of memories
Suspended in our regrets and fears
we are trapped and abandoned
In an endless flow of irretrievable years
