Love Remains

Nurtured the wounded heart with saline water
Breathing life into the dead weight of rejection
It grew within me
Not in my womb but in the whole of me
Slowly it spread, weakening joints first
Working its way up, broke down the networks
Numbness of existence it left on the way

Tentacled now, held me with diamond grip
Reached its desired destination
With vengeance hit at the throne of desire
Blocked its whimsical flow and ebb
Its fanciful hub-dub
Suffocated the arteries and veins
Of desire in one powerful grip

Pain released itself with the death of heart
…transformed itself into numbness
Suspended for eternity…
Waiting to find another fool.
