Abandonment


My heart is like a bleeding soldier
Left to die on the mud-covered battlefield
My heart is like an emaciated, stray dog
Lingering in the reticent streets
My hear is like a withered leaf
Desperately clinging on to its branch
My heart is more forsaken than all these
Because abandonment has come to me

Leave me in a cold, concrete room
Surround me with piercing, barbed wires
Blanket me with a cloak of invisibility
And trample with the feet of those who know love
Besiege me with jovial, heartfelt families
As I continue to acknowledge my deserted heart
Because at the abyss of my heart has come,
Abandonment has come to me.
