       it
     found me
       it
found my heart buried deep inside it rests
Never so close a love as rests the cold steel
Never so tender a lover that would slip into me
As my life slipped away drawn by the blade
I dream of life now taken in recompense
      it
    found me
      it

Folks everywhere speak of the 'heart' as though it was the center of our mind and had something to do with the way we feel, emotionally of course. Everyone knows that when you need a heart bypass you don't consult with a neurosurgeon.

Many have leveled a barrel to their temple due to 'heart issues' but rarely (if ever) managed to wedge cold steel into themselves at that location.


No matter the issue, remember the old cliche', "it's all in your head", and know that it's true.

Walter,
You are indeed correct that when one, for what ever reason feels love has ended, it is tantamount to a sucking chest wound. ~L
