Sara Kendrick Poet Acrostic

Unloved

Up in the sky I see God's handiwork
Not the same in my home
Love left so long ago 
Open wounds have healed
Velvet thread was used to sew
Every break in the heart but
Drops of blood leak around each stitch

Unfeeling now each time the hurts
Not the same as years ago
Lonely from years of manipulation
Open wounds want to reopen
Velvet thread is getting very old
Every new break pulls
Drops of blood still seep through

Unguarded the heart is exposed
Nothing has changed
Left is only pain that is composed
On top of the broken heart
Velvet thread is getting soaked
Every drop of blood spills onto it
Death from a broken heart  is near
