revival

i need something soft
a place to lay my heart
as it heals.
it wasn't broken
this time
but
cut
too deep.
it was easy enough
to piece back together
before.
but now
the blood
fleeing
a cruel way to discover
that life force
has no allegiance
to me.

what a way
to be humbled.
crushed by
the one dream
i had protected forever.
until.
and my heart
blames me.
and i blame
my heart.
but we are all
we have now.

so forgiveness
begins here.
revival
in me.
there are no other healers.
and there is
no magic glue
to fix this.
we stick together
because finally
we understand.
only we share
this pain.

i need a soft place
to bleed.
back into my heart.
