Disarming My Iron Heart

simply an expanded thought :) Image source: http://januine.deviantart.com/art/Barbed-Wire-Heart-Reprise-170231635

The threads of life have always

terrified me as I wandered

aimless...

from place to empty place

trying to breathe

under a blanket covered

scream

clouded vision

blurring the scene

why is my own shadow

so startling

hiding

running

a broken record

this cycle of unyielding... retreat

you disarm my iron heart

so easily...

Running through my traps of barbed wire and sharp abandon

like it was only an illusion, designed all this time for no one else

to get through

I though I would wander the world alone, by choice 

only still bleeding...

you say I pulled you from the darkness

I say you pulled me from a self-destructive rift

a prisoner of my own cage

and of an iron heart

the none before

could tear the hard, cold, metal

and chased my fears

away....
