Fractured Heart
Down deep I have died
Over millions of deeds that
Wear out this heart of mine
Broken through the fathoms
That proceeds over these seventeen years
I’ve lost so many desires to feel
The bruise that they have
Portrayed like a tattoo that’s ink
Has stuck to my heart
It no longer beats like it did then
Over the past measures nothing rather
Than trying to mend what has been
Shanked with a knife
Or pierced with an arrow from
Cupid’s lustful bow…
My heart fractured and damaged
Broken and beaten
To a pulp,
It seeks to beat
For someone
Who will love me all the same
Yet lacked courage
Falsely dominates
My faithless pleasures
There’s no young soul
That shall tear out a heart like mine
And fix its cracks
Like pieces of a puzzle
Only I can show the passion
That gains over the years
That bounds love from lust
And fills tears with salt
Instead of flesh
Cut away from its burdens…
Let it beat again
I want to know how it feels
To love like it should have
Not be cold or cruel but to
Show what it was born for
Don’t let the meek and bitter
Shame a fractured heart like mine
