This one
Happened not long ago
To a boy who had lost too much.

One day
He was wandering
Inside his house
Empty, no one was home
Except for himself.

He kept thinking
About how
To let go of someone.

He tried
Killing her in memories of his
But she's still there
Haunting him.

As he wanders
He felt like his eyes
Are about to get teary again
For the uncountable times on that day.

Suddenly
He found a balloon
Floating around, anchored by a coin.
A purple balloon, to be exact.
Her favorite color, he thought.
And the best idea of the century came to his mind.

He wrote a note
A farewell note
To the love of his heart
Who no longer loved him

And he tied it
Tightly to the balloon's thread.
He went outside joyfully
Untangled the coin that anchored the balloon to the ground
The coin that kept him from moving on
And let the balloon flew
As he sighed with relief.

He lived
The next day
And the other days
Full of happiness.

Sometimes
He would wonder
What happened to that balloon, anyway?
I literally did this thing, and it worked for me. I actually hugged the balloon myself and I just thought that no normal human being would do that so I didn't put it in this poem

Thief

Once upon a time
There was a boy.

He was happy
With himself
Until the thief came.

The thief stole nothing
From the boy
As he doesn't have anything
But his heart.

But the thief
Wanted something for herself
So she decided
His heart will be her fortune.

And so
The thief tries to steal it
She tried and tried
Looking for it
Everywhere she can ever imagine
But she never could.

One day
The thief gave up
And decided to ask the boy
'Where is your heart?'



'Isn't it with you all this time?'
The boy replied
As he gave her a smile.
Spontaneously came to mind.

The grace that lives
proves to us
why Christ died
upon the cross.

The grace that lives
does not deceive,
it only asks
that we believe.

The grace that lives
is not our foe,
other than love
it does not know.

The grace that lives
will transform you
to live your love
in all you do.

The grace that lives
will set you free
and take you where
God will be.
