Heart

They say you've gone wicked, rogue,
Roving away with limbs unfettered
Unguarded.
It was only on my sleeve
That you ever had your biggest say
And I
Was tumble swept along your way

What single word could ever hold a hope
To candle up your vacant hollow room
Discarded
Thoughts jumbled on the walls
Paper thin, like the cuts whose healing seems
So slow
At least you misplaced the key to my dreams

I want you back, not the least because
You'll always be the marrow of my soul
This started
Like a promise, but ended in a curse
I'll leave you in the mirror, gazing
Lost
To my own reflection.
