Push

An internal sigh

Held within

As darkness claims me

For another day.

Wiping away

Blood red tears

From my eyes.

Holding a small box

Containing

My fractured heart

In cupped hands.

As my body

Slumps

To the floor

With an audible thud.

Seeking release

From what

Can never be.

Only knowing

I can't live

Like this

Forever.

a palpable sigh that leaves not just an echo - but a bruise on the soul. Profound poetry Therisa.

Thank you, Tammy. Not exactly sure, what I was writing about, as I have several ideas, floating around, inside my head.
