If Only You Knew
I saw the sadness
in your tear-filled eyes
and vowed to put a smile
on your dejected face...
to give you wings,
regain the joy of life,
to hear you sing once more.
I set you free to roam
unfettered, unrestrained –
but in euphoric flight
you failed to glimpse
the pointed shards
embedded deeply
in my bleeding heart.
