Cor


Cor

 

She screams and gasps

As she rips it out

That unreliable thing

That forever hurts

 

It is only after

As she looks at it

Sad and shriveled up

That she realizes

 

It may hold all the hurt

And all the misery

And rip her up inside

 

But it also delivers

The greatest joy she has ever known

For every heartbreak

There were thousands of mends

 

She has taken out her every hurt

But she will never feel happy again.
