Charred
Location
Heartbreak:
The burning knife of rejection
Leaves the heart in pieces
The ache and the emptiness
Inside of one’s soul
But some, like I
Don’t allow the knife through
The tall sturdy walls
That are put up due
To all the pain we’ve endured
The knife stabs at the wall
And tries to break
The tender, warm heart
Dying to be kept safe
And though surely the knife
Can’t penetrate,
The wall catches fire
Which leaves the heart whole,
Just a little bit charred
