Heart Keeps Bleeding
by Holly Hawk
(Arkansas)
The wounds are open
Trying to heal but keep
Getting busted wider
Over and over
Bleeding more and more
It feels like it's getting better
But it never does
The pain never stops
Heart keeps bleating
Thump thump thump
Causing more blood to spill
Running scarlet coppery blood
Undying love slices deeper and deeper
Love and hurt
Mixed with love and fear
Forever lost forever forgotten
Drowning in a pool or misery
And confusion
Not knowing what to do or say
Stuck in a whirlpool
Gone forever in
Undying love
