I don't know how to break this to you:
 you have a heart…
some sweet swelling;
then, catastrophe —
 all the blood squeezed out
 till one wonders
 will it ever flow again,
 those milk and honey days?
Like days and seasons
 throbbing with two reasons:
  one in upkeep,
  the other open to arcs replete
  with sun and rain,
  cold and heat.
