Heart in the River

1. The gaping hole
Silences my chest.
There is no more heartbeat.
No more sounds.

2. What once was a distant, quiet part
Of me,
Is now bleeding into the water.
It bleeds my soul.

3. The river that washes over my heart
Is blue.
Its icy touch stains the red,
And my heart withers into dust.
It withers into nothing.

4. As red dust dissolves into the water
And my heart slowly disappears,
My chest feels free of endless sorrow
I've had to feel for years.
As, my heart disappears.

5. Suddenly, the water looks enticing.
I want to wither away too!
I want to be the Earth,
The movement of the wind,
And the rain from the heavens.
I want to be the river.

6. The river washes over me,
The dark hole it takes.
It cleanses my spirit,
Along with the breaks
Of my soul that is no more.
And I am gone.
Gone.
