Sometimes love is like
catching the wind in a jar
or the water in a sieve
it just doesn't stay
no matter how hard
we try
.........................................

Am I in vtach, or afib
either way its not right
my ventricles are out of whack
since you left last night

the pain of loss has ripped it out
it lies upon the floor
its beats slowly subside
since you walked out the door

if it is to heal
this will be no surgical scar
more like a chainsaw
that cut me near and far

coronary *****
so strong, yet so frail
on a depressed ocean
it now has set sail
