Fragile Heart Crossing
i'd loved you before
between karma and mirth
i'd weathered the wrath
of your untimely compassion
rationed out over time
crumbling through my frail fingers
as dried daisies perrished
among torn twigs
tampered with under
rough gravel concrete slabs
and rows of moss
saturated in coarse dander
i'd loved you before
while tainted bliss cried
as swollen eyelids opened
over crawling lashes
folded under soft tissue's
and pastel print linen
i'd loved you before
through a selfless lens
looking over calming
whelms bestowed silently
surrounding broad weeping
willows sparingly displaying
fields of dandelions
gesturing hush now
why had i ever loved you
