My Dear Heart Broken
i danced in bubbling innocence,
but shrouded with tainted boundaries-
no more simplicity
without redemption;
my soul complicity,
my essence like dying memories
i strike a fever like waves of lightning,
the storm never ceases
even in autumn breezes
i find this affair of dread most frightening
weeping with willows without resilience,
wiping away tears with tissues of
desuetude,
-for they never knew their worth-
and o, they have such fortitude;
i lay on the barren ground,
desperately nude,
no sight
no sound
misconstrued-
i allude
i ran in exotic light,
searching for brilliance,
spreading stardust amongst universes
too far for one to reach;
but
i reach because i was taught,
i fought to find my speech-
words can be so deceiving,
for there is worry in my insight
i need a remedy…
something relieving
and now i suture what needs mending,
saturated with scars that won’t fade-
this life of not knowing is never ending,
for i’ve been taken in chains hell made
never accepting
what can bring adoration-
i fly with ravens
i LACK love-
a failure with frail fingers pointing down,
disappointment of the worst;
i have but two wishes…
to collapse in a home of hope,
and finally learn how to cope
melancholy moments linger in my mind…
for i never saw what i should have seen
in my youth-
no time to seek freedom when you can’t
release what you united without fear
but
i know the truth
and
i will not accept what can’t be given,
cannot comprehend the world i live in
forever needing a haven of harmony-MY DEAR HEART BROKEN
