Heart-shaped leaf,
Once a dancer with wind,
Now curls in his edges
To protect from the Sun’s glare.
Child with a heart,
Holding hands with trust upon a time,
Alas folds her arms across her *****
To protect from the Attacker’s blows.
Heart that pumps blood,
Once a dealer of life,
Now laces with the black market
To protect itself from Hades’ incubus.
