I Tried

Kora

A half confession,
Poor and incomplete,
As you stand there
A deer in headlights,
One foot out the door.
I tried... I'm tired,
So like all of the
Prettiest, little dreams,
Rotting there
In infertile earth,
I bury my heart.

        Confusion, Kora. A wee bit of a loss here; you may have hastened my dementia along - but out of the discombobulation one thing is clear: disinter your heart now, dust it down and allow me to sit upon it to keep warm until you get the rest of your life sorted....

        An intricate little puzzle.

        • Kora

          You can sit upon my heart to keep it warm anytime ♥️
          I'm glad it seemed puzzling, that was my intention.

            I'm not very fond of puzzles, actually - particularly poetic puzzles. However, it seems I must suffer...
