Submerged In The Canals of Venice

  

Gone, is my greatest love

my broken heart drowned

not in the ocean

 but

in the Grand Canal

 

ripped away from my chest

from unforgiving love

now dead

lying under the gray murky water

on a rock all alone

a gondola

with a couple of lovers on board

 floats by with dreams of a future entwined

surrounded by red roses on their love vessel

they cannot see my heart underneath

why, would they even want to see such a thing?

my heart, that’s tossed into the grand canal

no hope of a heroic rescue

it will simply stay there...

until decay takes its course

submerged in the canals of venice.
