Epitaph to My Heart

Here lies a Heart in its last throes...
Once overflowing with Love and emotion
For one who was thought to be the One.

Too much time has passed without air,

Too many things have been left undone.

Too many heartbeats, too many tears

Gone, unnoticed, without nourishment,

No comfort, no care.

As the Life Blood slowly ebbed away.

The distance grew, as the cold winds blew,
And the poison flowed in from everywhere:
Loving gestures were twisted into ugliness;
Unconditional love, forged into malicious intention.
So many reasons were needed to justify the deception,
To make it appear that Love was not there,
To make him feel that I did not care,
When none could be found, they were fabricated,
And cloaked in denial.

All the while, the Heart bled
Until there was no more left to give.
For what is there left for which to live
When it was all one Big Lie?
Now Reality must be forged
Into a state of numbness;
The Heart must be closed so that
My eyes may be wide open,
To see the Future unclouded with pain,
Without the fog of unrequited love.
Instead of tears, bring on the cleansing rain
To wash away the tainted past.
Will he leave or somehow evolve and last?
Who knows what the Future will be.
I will have to wait...patiently for my Destiny.
