the heart is a fickle creature. attached to things that bring destruction. i wonder if the heart is aware. told to beware of what’s to come. to hide away from the glow of the sun. i doubt that it was, because otherwise the petals wouldn’t be falling. and my hands wouldn’t shake like they do. i also have a fear, that it might be too late. to save what once was. to leave free, instead of empty. how powerful must one be to destroy. or perhaps just afraid.

the heart (afraid of its own shadow).
the heart is a fickle creature. attached to things that bring destruction. i wonder if the heart is aware. told to beware of what’s to come. to hide away from the glow of the sun. i doubt that it was, because otherwise the petals wouldn’t be falling. and my hands wouldn’t shake like they do. i also have a fear, that it might be too late. to save what once was. to leave free, instead of empty. how powerful must one be to destroy. or perhaps just afraid.
emptiness is pervasive, enveloping, and it seems also impossible to escape. i hope a resolution comes soon. September 3, 2018.
