Incurable

It eats through your bones
and scrapes across your flesh
making its presence known
inside, it will remain
within your heart.

that ache you feel
from a love now lost
her words give birth,
create a virus.
the sharp teeth you feel
gnawing inside your chest.
there is no cure for cancer-
especially when planted
by the one you love.

you give your all to life,
for love
yet you will not survive.
a heart cannot withstand
a blow such as this
the poison sinking through.

blackened, with cold lacerations,
it struggles to breathe
emotions withering,
the sickness takes its toll.

your love is gone,
has walked away
your heart begins to burn,
slowly turning to remains of gray.

once in love,
now left with heartache
a past filled with joy,
a future stained with silence.

you gave to her your heart,
but yet she sent it back
with an incurable disease.

when love is removed,
a cancerous heart will expire...
forsaken and alone.
