Hearts that mend
they still depend
on memories like a scar
the beats they send
they never end
though they may travel far
they weave and wend
across the miles
to where you are


taking comfort in a cold rain
splatter drops of freezing tears
that bring a delicious chill
a biting wind to warm the pain
silenced emotions of frozen years
that taunt and haunt me still


Hearts that mend
they still depend
on memories like a scar
the beats they send
they never end
though they may travel far
they weave and wend
across the miles
to where you are


bundled up against icy air
crawling goosebumps on my skin
shivers work through these bones
wondering if it's winter there
did your season change within
or do I face this storm alone?

"People say I should learn some self control; but I just want to exorcise my soul"

"I'm still waiting on a revelation here in Never-Never land..."

Interesting. Well written. Sounds like the beginning of the end. But, not always!  Hope this isn't a real, current experience. If so, heart hugs to you....and may your new year be blessed.


Warm regards, Pat

I wonder, sometimes, the same thing.

I like the way you alternated this one, it gives it a very lyrical feel. Perhaps that was the intent.

It is indeed very true, that in mending, we must still rely on the memories, and not forget them.
