Hurt gone deep
disturbing sleep
by a heart taken away from me
and returned without the key.
Words singe the flesh of a heart
lynching the delicacy of someone not smart.
Happy memories now bring sadness
events in the present bring occasional madness.
Being loved should bring gladness
but a love now gone, inflamed by sadness.
A world shrinking in my eyes
a child being born again around lies
climbing the rope of life
only to slide down again, alone, stranded, defied.
