you--
silent like midnight--
slithered into
my heart
attached yourself
onto the cusps
of the valves
those which kept me
alive--
made yourself
an integral part
of my life

then you
(foolish wicked bitter you)
ripped yourself away
left me
helpless
hopeless
lifeless
dying, simply,
for a lack of you

you left
gaping holes
in my heart
bleeding
and raped by
the infection
of jilted love
too soon lost
take advantage
and leave
love 'em
leave 'em
the jist of your
philosophy

i will
overcome you
bandage my heart
with my own
wisdom
my own courage
my own need
to believe in something
bigger than you--
to believe in myself


Enjoy what you can, endure what you must.  -Goethe

"Whimsy" is a cool word...I enjoyed your word selections and organization here, but most of my happy comes from your initial word..."Whimsy"...
