Broken Heart

How do you nurse a broken heart?
Swollen in pain till it hurts
not knowing how it got started
aching in agony for a long time
not enough time to shine
bleeding through the veins of life
shredding by the slice from the knife

Crawling through the drops of tears
cutting skin with a spear
leaving behind such misery
deep into the stone with no feel
the heart begins to peel
wrenching in cold red liquid
squirming around like a squid

Feeling alone and not secure
fearing that there is no cure
stressed by the pressures of voice
knowing that there is no choice
crying with a broken heart inside
leaving towards the dark side
