A Bleeding Heart
BLEEDING HEART

Am l tree dying beyond any cure of pruning?
Or a ship irrevocably sailing into a dangerously brewing storm?
Am l a portrait fading under the unforgiving glare of sunlight?
Or is my life like a rocket straining at its tethers waiting to finally explode?
 My life is a series of emotional-wreckage with no end in sight.
Am l merely living with my head hanging waiting for the axe to fall?

Am l going to bury my grievance and let this flock of memories
Soar?
Without you my life is like pounding square pegs into round holes.
Am I going to feel the burning desire that necessitate the courage to love
again?
I hardly see myself turning on the charms and launch into pursuit mode.
I feel like a deer caught in the sight of a lethal rifle.
Your untimely demise was tantamount to a stampede from hell mudding my
water.

If life is a peach-garden with rosy petals,
Why do l bleed from invisible thorns?
With you next to me l felt like love running through my veins;
Now,alas,am busy wiping out my brain cells with alcohol in my quest for
peace.
Dreams are not a reprieve,merely a continuation of anguish crawling from a
subconscious catalogue of nightmarish terrors dogging my sanity.
You were my crown jewel with a matching heart hence the jealous gods from
a heaven unknown stole you to be a shining angel.

If my life hand a sound track it would be a high pitched soliloquy laden
with cries and tears with a reminiscence harp to soothe my existence.
Cancerous sorrow has burrowed into my soul pegging down years from my youthful glow;
Inebriations pouring down my throat like a waterfall,eroding my conscience into oblivion and peaceful slumber.
Without you l have cut myself from  hope and shelved my dreams.
I feel like a giant has stepped on my chest my heart hurts.
We are in different places yet still here with me.
