Pinned Hearts on Holidays

On Valentine's Day we shove arrows through our hearts

to pin ourselves to a person, someone we say we love.



But, if we leave the arrow so tightly placed

we all will start  to bleed wishing the arrow would dislodge.



Struggling to pull it out we end up dying

with the love we once pierced ourselves with

laying on the ground drowning in our blood.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This was drawn with a pierced, bleeding heart. Just thought that might help with visulaization.
