Love Born to Die

My misshapen heart — is wearing your scars…

My misshapen heart
Is wearing your scars
Caving and bulging
With your secrets
With pining and regrets

What is a heart
With no mouth?
No voice, no sound
A heart that bleeds with tears
Shrivels with the passing years
Until I see your bloodshot eyes
This desiccated heart
Changes size
Torn and mangled as the wings
Of burning birds
Break free

Our love flies out the window
And leaves me like a widow
As it soars into the sky
A love born to die
