You neither let me know,

nor gently let me go.

Kept me hanging,

in the dark,

unaware, unsure,

an unsuspecting fool.

Fumbling, tripping,

falling in the darkness,

I could finally see,

the writing on the wall.

My make believe world,

was scarlet red.

Tried  in vain to stem,

the flow from,

my bleeding heart.

It was touch and go,

for a while, but,

in the end,

I survived.
