             X’d


blood               flows
        somehow
stays               inside


                   didn’t know           could last
                                  this long
                   with no                 heart


you took             back
           your own
kept                   mine


                    and I                  last on
                                live on
                    empty               beatless


but this             can’t be
             lasting
couldn’t              be life


                  impossible            this is
                                   living            
                  just an X                on, on


heart              hope
         gone
joy                 love


                   why                 why
                              why
                   why                 why

Jamie

All the pieces of this add to the feeling of broken...sad when this happens.  Well done!

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

A good presentation...a timeless feel.
This X marked the feelings.

Where living really isn't such... only existing... We give someone so much power when we give them our heart... can only pray they treat it gently. *S* You've chosen a unique way to write what happens when those prayers aren't answered... and accomplished it so very well.

you took             back
           your own
kept                   mine

~ that is so painful to experience.

The way you laid your words down on the page, effectively illustrates how broken and fragmented you must be feeling.

Warm, healing hugs,
