Essence of Heart

A single entity
Supporting
A Flawless network.
A Labyrinth of tubes
On a shattered
foundation.
A lifetime of
battling
Invisible demons.
The truth stares
back.
Conversations with
the mirror.
Vengeance meted
against allies.
Surrender to life.
Searching for
something to die for
The absence of which
Makes us unworthy.
The part of you
That keeps you
alive,
Is the part that
Makes you live..
