Bleeding Heart

Bleeding heart, who cut fair vein, and left you here to bleed? Who plied the knife to wounding’s drain, through heinous, depraved deed?

Bleeding heart, who cut fair vein, and left you here to bleed?

Who plied the knife to wounding’s drain, through heinous, depraved deed?

Who dropped the ball, who left their post, that villain access gained?

Why are you gutted by the ghost whose hands with guilt are stained?

How came your fragile lonely heart to hang on futile sleeve?

Who plucked it down with loathsome dart and tore your make-believe?

Where will you turn, where will you find the comfort that you crave?

O bleeding heart, there is One kind, Whose strength can make you brave.

      Unfortunately, I have a lot to say in the painful department… but Hvala! (‘Thank you’ in Croatian, for the uninitiated…) 🙂

        I Do understand–it’s why I write poetry. And, thank you for teaching me a new word for thank you! I wonder if it is pronounced as it’s spelled?

        The ‘h’ and ‘v’ are run together so delightfully that the true pronunciation eludes me. You can therefore say it any way you like! (No one else will know the difference, will they?) 🙂

    You somehow manage to beautify pain while still making me feel it’s sharp edge. It’s really great.

        Of course! I believe it takes great talent to do what you have done!

        I will always find it fascinating that when I spill my truest self onto a page, it is called talent. I really appreciate the fact that others somehow are able to see something of value in words I write to ease my ache… I thank you for stopping by, Amanda!
