My Glass Heart
By Salum
This glass heart is filled with hate;
Wrapped in darkness; consumed
in pain;
Cracked and bleeding, yet it remains.
Bursting
forth, from this heart’s crack,
Blood that is, the purest black.
Take a look and you will see,
The story that is, killing me.
Here it is, in my mind’s vault.
My family’s ruin, she
says it’s my fault.
I was having, too much fun,
Now I
wonder, “what have I done?”
I searched and searched, but
found no job,
So she called me, a fucking slob.
Sometimes
I wish, I could change the past,
But even then, we wouldn’t last.
Our daughter’s first Christmas, the end began,
I found a
message, to another man.
It was him she wanted, to my surprise,
As for me, she wanted demise.
In my mind, the memory dwells.
In this glass heart, the pain it swells.
I once loved, my
daughter’s mother,
But my glass heart, now loves another.
So here I sit, with my lover,
Wishing she was, my daughter’s real
mother….
