GRIEF Poem: Ruined hearts, torn art, by Joey Fox

She’s ruined me,
And my dream.
Her ruby heart
Blinds our art.

Full black eye,
We’re far apart.
And I believe the irony

Is what makes us strong.

And we can try to pry
Our nights away, we’re not smart.
Full of laughs and purity.

When we’re together, it must go wrong.

You can plead your case
My wish is your desire.
An eerie reminder of love from a prior
Broken soul, torn to face

A fountain of youth,
Failing to tell our truth.

She’s ruined me
And my dream.
Her ruby heart
Blinds our art.

Full black eye.
We’re far apart.

When we’re together, it must go wrong?
