Heart
Ripped out, gutted of
The lifeline that sustained
Me for far too long,
Leaving me hollow inside,
Filled only with poisonous
Memories drifting aimlessly.
But I finally did learn that
A heart broken can break
Yet again; carefully taped
Falls apart again revealing
That mending never can last.
Goodbye then, my heart;
I once believed I needed
Your presence but my lungs
Have kept going, tears have
Kept falling and I’m alive
Without pulling your pieces
Back together again, in vain,
So I may just leave you
Scattered in the ashes of
Past happiness, hoping for
Blissful forgetfulness to take
Your aching, gaping place.
