Sunflowers

Constant reminders
Pin-prick my heart
Till I bleed out
Melt down quietly
Alone
No one notices
Try to regain calm
A tentative hold
Easily broken
Disquiet
No one to bleed the toxin
Clean the wound
Allow for healing
Instead it silently
Festers

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
