My Heart is in Parts

I closed a door and opened a new one to

Magical unexplored worlds of bravery

Courage

Fortitude

My sick body holds my heart

Shattered into infinite pieces

I wish to be everywhere but find

I am nowhere

My heart that was tender and soft

Is in parts.

Pedestal

I placed him on a pedestal
Because that’s where he needed to be

That’s where he belonged

Until one day he stepped off the pedestal
And disappeared from sight

An unforgettable hero

Leaving broken hearts and footprints
Alone in fading light

Branches etch across the sky
As rays of light weave their way
Into the darkness of my life
Warming the broken vessels of my
Heart
