A Heart That Weeps
I jumped the hurdles
I climbed the rungs
you went higher
I couldn’t hold on
the song you sang
I couldn’t hear
words to the wind
or on deaf ears
you disappeared
without a trace
no tracks left
the trail erased
no warning shot
you were on the move
an empty chamber
an aim not true
when you left
you took it all
no safety net
to block my fall
a broken past
a wall left breached
a soul bereft
a heart that weeps
