A Heart's Malady

 

Rains in my heart; 

  The swells leaking through expanded window sills 

Reprieve, cold 

   and the Maldigest of sorrow, 

Another sort of disease. 

   A pain and malady 

       Unattended to. 

The longing I have can be met by no 

   Other, 

  Other than you. 

Invisible Love, 

   ripped out of me, 

  My fiery heart, 

     Bleeding and streaming 

        Through your fingers bare. 

Taken with you into another life. 

  Left hollow here, 

     To serve the others. 

Left null of reciprocity. 

Void, 

   In the echos of our lingering impressions, 

      Waking from dreams 

          Where we must leave one another again. 

      Waking without you. 

       Waking to this life, the other side, 

            Instead. 

 Maybe one day, 

  this will all just be 

     A bad dream, we can wake from.
