Poetry Challenge: Tattered Heart

Recently I participated in the poetry challenge hosted by VoElla. There are so many amazing entries, I hope you'll check them out.

A tattered heart

Broken and bleeding

Words from a distance

Misconstrued and misleading

 

A tattered heart

Each bruise and scar

A direct result

Of being so far

 

So far from the one

I long to please

With eager lips

I long to tease

 

So far from the one

I wish was mine

With hope in my heart

I wish upon time

 

I wish upon time

To close this divide

To be in your arms

To feel you inside

 

Only then will I know

This love is real

Only then will my wistful

Tattered heart heal
