Could not hide her emotions
Others did not express
Any kinds of suggestions
What was she to do
It was a lone battle
Fuzzy and feeling blue
It was a big muddle
The love of her life
Had frittered away
Her being now nose-dived
Much to her dismay
Easy in giving her all
Nurtured of good upbringing
Now felt rather small
All had gone with the wind
More guarded now
In expending feelings
Bleeding heart not anymore
Which had left her reeling

There are so many possible interpretations of 'bleeding heart'. You have chosen the well-known metaphorical meaning of much emotion and turned it into a touching tale.
ReplyDeleteAlways fun to run into rhyme - makes for lyrical reading!
ReplyDeleteI can relate to you poem Hank, when I lost my youngest son four years ago I felt...... and still do feel "Lost".
ReplyDeleteWonderful verse, thanks for sharing it.
Yvonne.
Bleeding but not broken, let's hope.
ReplyDeleteWhat was she to do
ReplyDeleteIt was a lone battle
Fuzzy and feeling blue
so relatable, Hank
Heartache can be so isolating. I hope the subject finds a way towards comfort and healing.
ReplyDeleteYeah, a closure is always welcome. We need to heal
ReplyDeleteMaybe less bleeding, more cautious, but still feeling and open, I hope.
ReplyDeleteHeartache can tear a spirit into bits. I love how it suggests she still seeks love, but takes more caution
ReplyDeleteguarded... that usually is the lesson learned, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteSounds like early onset aging. "Fuzzy and feeling blue--It was a big muddle" is supposed to happen to us old folk. And it does.
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm so late in returning, we've been doctoring and still have more for next week.

She sounds like a Tanya Mills character.
