Fragile Poem by Jeff Rushton

One word is all it takes.
The heart breaks.
The love for life deteriorates,
A need for others is negate.
The passion for helping is changed to a need for embrace.
Your soul slams shut to any and all who try to touch.
The vision to see is blurred and taken out of 3-D.
A cardiac suppression takes place, bruising corridors of trust and faith.
Honor is gone, for they have stolen, wounded and run.
Healing can kill, you must analyze your life, your mind, your zeal.
Breaks the heart can take are few and painful in any state.
