It was your home,
thay you destroyed inside out
and now I carry it everywhere
I call it a bleeding heart.
I remember the moonlit night,
Where we danced on the boat,
I wrapped my arms around you
with laughter afloat.
Euphoric in your compassion,
fulfiled as you nestled close to me
my heart felt like a thousand fishes
racing across the sea.
Behind me on the restless road,
your hands hid inside my jacket,
I mistook that fleeting comfort
for something built to last.
You danced with ostriches
making me cackle hard
you smiling over meerkats
had my heart melting apart.
And now you’re as silent
as the sea we sat along
and I hurt every moment thinking
where did I go wrong.
