A heart lies shredded
Ripped apart
But still, it beats
Pulsing life's blood
As sacrifice to love
Unrequited

And I find I lack
Sewing capabilities
The needle slips,
Falls from my hands
Into the contamination
Of broken belief

So glue is sought
But wetness seeping
Prevents a bond
Time has become
An unrelenting enemy

Feeling helpless
All I can do
Is shed these tears
Into the wound
Hoping that love
Can seal the seams

suthern,
Maybe a few pressure clamps. A well written piece.

Wishing you some first aid, sweet one.  Good analogy (wish I didn't know the feeling)...but I will say that time does ease the pain a bit, and I think you have it right that love is the real healer.   .....jo

bittersweet...love always finds the broken

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

Oh, I hurt from this, to feel the pain and the helplessness ~ the frustration to mend but to no avail, at least it would seem, one can only allow time to take its toll…  Beautiful write…

Listen to that Moth!  You know having you care about someone is about as good as it will ever get, as you are someone with so much love and tenderness to offer.  This was a little heart wrenching but very good poetry.

I love the metaphors in this one.  Maybe that would work, sort of like stop-leak?

suthern,
   You always seem to hit the vein with me, leaving me in deep thought and mood.  I so enjoy your writing.
   Hoping things mend as quickly as they are able.  Take care, Sweet One.
