I sit here with a mangled heart,
And I apologize for it.
I am torn and I want to mend you.
I am broken almost beyond repair,
yet I want to heal you,
I am bleeding to death
And I bandage you up.
I am devastated,
but I look for ways to keep you afloat.
I am beyond repair.
You know this is true.
Still you accept all of my gestures.
My last breath will be I love you
and you will merely say I know.

About Me
I consider myself awriter more than a poet even though I often find myself writing in prose. Not all of my poetry is autobiographical but somehow ends up on the page because I find myself needing to purge for some reason or another.
I began writing at the age of 10 and am now in my mid forties. There have been several instances that writing has saved my life By the simple release of pent up feelings attached to tragedies that I have experienced. Because of this, I am often told that my writing is quite dark. I take not one iota of offense at this. Rather it makes me feel that I must be doing something right.
