Triple Bypass Surgery Poem by Jeremy Horsford

When we first met, I was full hope at what
was shown.

We dated and despite my words, my heart
realised you belonged to an unknown.

Every day there after, I felt as though
you ripped the flesh from my bones.

We would talk and although my words and
my heart were misaligned, your every word
would freeze my heart for temporary
period of time.

You've made me a victim of a victimless
crime.

You left me. And despite us not being
together, I suffered months of unbearable
torture.

Til the day, when my sun finally
emerged from the grey. I was free.
