A home where a heart was completely lost
Missing amongst the years of emotional abuse
Unable to find its beat in time to happiness
Pumping uncertainty into a life so sad
Circulating back and forth with little respite

Bypassing confrontation, an easy option
Praying often for a natural recovery
Transplanting hope in place of realism
Emerging wounded by frustration and non compliance
Returned, with tears, to a surgery with little patience

Searching for a cure, bringing further discontentment
Taking a drug called convenience into an upset stomach
Dissolving the pain but only momentarily
Faced once more with the choice of re admission
Beginning yet again on that path to misery
