Beware of roses
Even roses have
Piercing thorns

All of my dreams are like nightmares*

Yesterday I wrote a note
On a tiny piece of white paper
It read this: ‘I love you’
Then I went outside
And pinned it with a clothespin
On the clothesline

The wind blew my hair
Turned my umbrella inside out
And sent me falling to my knees
The raindrops splashed onto my face
And distant thunder rumbled angrily
Yet I picked myself up and continued walking
In the meadow in the beautiful rain

Why did you leave me?
Why did you break my heart?
Why did you hurt me when I loved you?
Why won’t you ever return?
© SilentCry

You colored my heart
And trapped it in a mason jar
To shine with the summer fireflies
© SilentCry

There are new fresh wounds
On my broken heart
