Bleeding heart


Galling revelation took shape before me;
No roaring Fury announcing approach,
But a hope I'd warmed to like a windfall friend
Revealed to be a smiling murderer;

Barbéd dagger which I'd given up fearing
Forged within defenses I deemed causeless
Arced swiftly stabbing, ventricle-puncturing;
No thrust could ever find a truer home;

Bleed, now.  Just let the flow wash it all away.
There are no allies can take your part. Bleed.
