The Fissured Heart
written by: Anne G
@TheInkTruth
The fissured heart
hard to conceive
if only visible
to me and me
Years of heart-breaks
tell-tale signs
bloodlines run
along the faults
Scars and cracks
disguised by flesh
no one knows
what lies beneath
Smiles belie
the damage done
by hurt and pain
and swallowed pride
Fractured hopes
and broken dreams
microscopic
ruptured veins
Splintered wishes
stifled cries
cleave the chasms
deep within
The fissured heart
hard to conceive
if only visible
to me and me

Why write? I write because I am: Driven to distraction by the inequities of the society in which we live. Motivated by cruelty, abuse, ignorance and indifference. My intention: To poke, prod and provoke!
