You Do Not Make Me Bleed

i place my heart
you do not know it where
that is my secret
now
you look at me with suspicion
what i have been
doing with myself
hiding from you the most important
part that which
wears the
wedding ring
i am hiding my heart
it is not where i told you once it is
i am a failure
to love i am a murmur now
of the night
do not blame me
we are part of this
heavy drama
do not make me bleed
i will not
i have no heart now
just this empty
chest
filled with the air of my remorse.
