I Feel as Though My Heart Lay Bleeding

August 19, 2016

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is breaking up a love affair.

Today’s poem is about how it feels to break up.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

I feel as though my heart lay bleeding

On a countertop.

The pain is like a flooded scream

That cannot, will not stop.

I cannot live, I cannot breathe;

Pain is all I do.

I cannot think how I can be

Long living without you.

Ah, God! I want you back so bad

That I would gladly die

To hold you in my arms again

And not care how or why;

To hold you in my arms again

And tell you of my love,

And then go gladly back to dust

Should I your heart not move.
