Bleeding Heart

Dark clouds swirl around my heart,
Waring with the sun who wants to come in.

My heart is being pulled into a back void,
while the sun tries to come to the rescue.

I can feel the blood oozing out of my heart,
as the sun tries to put the blood back in.

The outer wound of my heart starts to heal,
yet too much blood is lost and I am weak.

I lay still, unmoving, uncaring, unresponsive,
afraid to let my heart be exposed again.

Maybe someday the sun will be able to shine light on my heart again,
Until then I wait for my heart to heal on the inside before I let myself feel again.
