To a Dark Heart

This morbid fascination

My unending procrastination

I hold out for everything

And come up with nothing

My nightshade heart

Plays it’s part

A special place

Not made of arterial lace

Or venous denim or integumentary leather

Made to endure every weather

I hold our for a dark heart like mine

One made not to sparkle, not to shine

To a dark heart, these battle scars are fine

To a dark heart, I will be thine.

I am so dark I cant even find myself, but this poem shines a wee bit of light, lovely!
