This heart


ForAnother

Recommended Posts

If there were calouses of the heart,

I would behold the steal plate of hearts.

Like you, I saw the early beginnings

when a pin pr!k felt weirdly good.

So pursue as you and I did,

hearts rubbing on hearts, with a rose

growing in between.

When spring came those thorns they began

to grow. And with every day after,

we each began to find bigger needles

that led to the nails, the knives, and the spears,

do you remember?

If I still had my heart,

I know that those weapons wouldn't hurt.

I've learned to block and parry,

and dance with grace, taking your every move,

and relaxing my heart, before you step.

So it won't hurt so much this time.

the initial gouges you took of me,

have diminished into the slightest of scratches,

which make my plate lose its shine.

Thank you.

 

I hoped to round it out at the end, that it only made scratches to my plate heart. Sure I am caloused and broken in, but marks still remain though, I don't suffer as badly. That is what I intended.

 

Thanks for both of your responses, things are going well, and life is slowly but surely picking up for me.
