missing heart

What do you do

When you can’t sleep

Cause your heart is missing

No longer in your body

But instead next to you

Weeping softing

You coo it sweetly

It's okay

You lie

It's okay

It looks so bizarre there

It doesn’t look how you thought

It’s maroon

Not a crimson red

You have never seen a naked heart

You touch it

Try to place it gently back in your chest

It’s too slippery

Too swollen

Too tender

So you let it sit

Closing your eyes

Praying for sleep

To wring you clean of the thoughts

Please let me be

Please bring me peace

Let me forgive

Please..

Please...

And it's morning again

Fresh eyes

No longer bloodshot

from the stress

the acid tears

the anger

they are clear

reflecting the world

amber and green

with hints of blue

Heart open

remembering

this is who I am

I forgive myself

I forgive others

this is who I am

My heart beating it's slow steady song

Thank you for coming back to me

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you
