these verses, these phrases...
these passionately expressed stories
of love,
of longing,
of hidden pain,
can only be apprised through strings of words
and hidden metaphors.
meant to provide any meaning and consolation
to a cracked but ever so slightly still beating heart.
a heart worn over time,
dragged across endless strings of lovers.
wounds no one could ever mend.
a heart, beat up by damages that escape comprehension,
waiting patiently for its turn at a chance to be healed.
hearts so painfully lovely and beautiful that need to be seen.
hearts so wonderfully in need.
a longing can only be so delicately expressed
with words straight from the heart.
