Calcified Heart

I carry you in a rock in my heart

What once kept me grounded

Now tears me apart

-

Each step is heavy and I stumble

My breath is hard to catch

I feel my body slowly crumble

-

So I take a pickax to my chest

Break through the calcified heart

I will rob you of your nest

-

Rivulets bleed from the open ravine

The pain splits me in two

And no one hears the silent scream

-

This heart of bone is now bereft

Removed of every trace of stone

'Til there is nothing of you left

-

The fissures close and I am whole

In time I move again

While you remain unaware of what you stole
