Stains On The Heart Poem by Madeleine Wolf

My heart feels like
It is bleeding.
Could it come from a sense
Of needing
And never receiving?

The blood flows down
The sides of my heart.
My heart
Is torn apart
When I see you.

I thought we could be friends,
But it has come to bitter ends.
When our eyes meet,
I want to scream and cry.
All I can do
Is wonder why.

You left me
So suddenly.
We both thought it was for the best.
Staying together might have put
Our emotions to a test.

When it happened,
I didn't cry.
I felt it coming
I wanted to try
To keep it going.

You asked me if I was okay
I said I was fine.
What else could I say?
I drew the line.

Now this place
Where magic happened before
Is so unholy.
It will never be the same
That’s for sure.

Now tears run down my cheek
Like the blood on my heart.
I can’t say a word,
Can’t speak.
I am torn apart.
