The heart bleeds
narrow streams of aching red
stalling as they negotiate time
The heart bleeds
songs of a smile infected past
turn the handle of memory
The heart bleeds
histories page left ajar
as the photo invites tears
The heart bleeds
her beauty departs
upon the unsteady wings of change
The heart bleeds
the giddy stage of life
throws another actor into the crowd of death
My bleeding heart
a pulse that shows I care
a pump, a beat
a rhythm from here back to there
