Bleeding Heart

Shattered

They grabbed my heart forcefully
ripping my aorta
The scalpel reaches to the sternum
Cutting 8 inches
The start of a bleeding heart

Secrets flooding my house
As I become tempted to borrow
That paring knife
Used to punish the pain
A mercy calling

I took a joy ride driving from Las Vegas NV
Going to Salt Lake City in one shot
I drove and drove
Trying to decide what I was going to do
Live or die
Now I live to tell


In our darkest hours
Expression in the medium of artistry 
Words painting the blank Canvas 
Of our life until called to come home.
