I FOUND A BROKEN HEART

POETRY WARNING

I found a broken heart.
It was lying in the shadows
on a dirty concrete sidewalk
with crumpled, trembling wings.

I looked around to see
who might have dropped it on their way;
I could not comprehend how men
 could hurt such fragile things...

Who'd throw away a heart?
I plucked it up from where it lay;
inscribed upon it, clear as day
my Name -

my blame

Truth 

stings.
