Michael Craig Poet I do not know?

Haunting of the Heart

Bloody as can be
The blade that pierced me
So close to the heart 
A wound that will make me fall apart
Her fragrance of I'm aware
The fake cries of her despair
Come they do emotions numb
For which I will not Succumb
Tears held in mine eyes
I hold back so she can't see me cry
Dismal is thoughts of love again
Maybe next time I shall win
Rose colored glass as solace worn
Hold me over until I no longer morn

CayCay Godwin May 24, 2019 at 9:50 AM Straight to my heart where I hold the pain of my own unrequited love. Though it was long ago and I've made friends with it, the heart does hold it and your emotional lines woke it so poetically awake. A heartbreak delivered in wonderful ink! Oh, so good. Thanks for the uplifting message, Michael. I love this one. CayCay (form is rhyme)
