Worn out are the stitches,
that hold together a patch
to cover the hole,
its massive depth embedded
straight into my heart.
No longer can it hide,
threads torn apart
making the wound fresh.
Pain seeps through,
crimson red with emotion.
Tears now come freely,
my salty river of sorrow.
Now the heart is black,
cold like a winter's night,
dead and numb.
