Crescent Shaped Heart

a mere sliver of joy
a brillant display of glow
to hide all that you will know
the blacked out face
hides a hideous smile
while it wounds you all the while
with its magnetic tug
it will drench your desire
with high tide
for sleep never comes
so enjoy the ride
for this heart
one day will be full
and on that night
you will feel the full effect
of love most poisoned
to subdue the abode
of your humble spirit
and split your soul in half
