The Return of Heart From Darkness
there was a moment
I felt our hearts brush,
there was within time
a thought, mine you would crush
those inhumane moments
within the walls of your world,
stripped me of feeling
and all my emotions unfurled
threads of memory
drift through my mind,
I pick up the ends
to try to make them align
I have flashes of joy
that pinpricked our life,
but the strongest in visions
are the ones staged of strife
I remember all the love
you stripped from my soul,
I remember all the nights
wishing I was once again whole
these agonies I’ve bled
on my wedding dress,
I’ve erased, the seeing
of you ripping my flesh
so these words aren’t wrought
within the pain of despair,
for I choose to remember
the very best we shared there
let the Road to Perdition
that I traveled with you,
carry the heartache and pain
so we can say this adieu
the thought I now cradle
to the end of my lines,
is of laughing and smiling
in the heart of springtime
your power has fallen
and can’t hurt me again
as I sit here, wonder,
was the beginning worth the end
