In a long forgotten corner

through dark recesses

under cobweb cover

There beats a once cherished heart

Frayed at the edges

time ravaged and torn,

still it pulsates with love’s rhythm

and hope…

Abandoned by youth,

and cast out for pastures greener

with emotions heavy

It waits…

Cleaving to walls that offer no comfort,

in realization of rank relegation

It cries out…

Alone in the blackness,

will crushed by truths blow

It succumbs…

And in this long forgotten corner,

laying bloody, broken and defeated

a heart once cherished

beats no more…
