243. Heartwings

Published on 20 September 2017 at 20:56

A paper heart broke into two,

and I tried to glue it back together

with some ink, and a feather.

It dripped onto the lifeless paper,

creating art with its aromatic vapors.

I patiently waited for it to dry,

in hopes that she would fly again;

the heart that I helped survive,

hopefully finding life once more

before coming to a tragic end,

where I’d often cry, again and again.

My tears became my only friends,

as the years had passed me by.

Your heart, I often tried to find,

so that I could bring it back to life.

I could then return to the sea,

and set sail to wherever you may be.

You can float along with your heartwings,

blending in with the birds as I sink

to the bottom of the ocean floor,

where I will open up a hidden door

leading to your once broken heart.

Here, I had to travel quite far,

to find myself inside a water star.

It allowed for me to breathe,

as I saw you clearly, above the sea.

I knew then what it was I had to do.

So I took my own heartwings 

and flew right to you.
