love lies bleeding

love lies bleeding

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

love lies bleeding



bulletproof heart,
yet you had those damn darts
that penetrate a cop's armor
and i never even wore a badge

just the blue.

Ouch. Love can really sting when you don't have the right armor and the other party has all the right weapons.

You are right KL Goode ...
I enjoyed this poem. You said a handful in so few words. Some woman carry heavy bullets. Thank you Jacob for sharing the excellent poetry.

Nice imagery, as usual I applaud your ability to put so much in so few lines, and still pull so much from the mind and heart of the reader.
Like sun kissed stone, from title to the last word, it hits hard and fast, and yet has a warmth that somehow leaves one feeling touched.

The cop kinda like the dragon ..wise and worthy but vulnerable and real all the same. That soft spot right under the vest...love always penetrates! I ve always had a thing for blue:)lol

No matter how much we protect ourselves there is always a weak spot, being the heart...articulate to the point as always Jacob :)

When your defenses are down the broken heart is inevitable one day! Should always wear your heart on your sleeve they say but in this case the armour doesn't have one! . A good write as always J.
