Reflections and Shadows

Heart's Tears

My heart isn't broken, just missing a piece,

where its tears drip out, then flow upward, 

into my mind where my thoughts they wet, 

weighing down my soul, with sullen regret.

 .

Fate intrevenes, baiting me with dangling hopes.

She thinks me but a toy,

and never tires of the game.

My pain is Her pleasure, always the same.

 .

The Day soaks me up,

the Sun wraps me in warmth.

The Night welcomes me with starry seams,

and the Moon pours comfort into my dreams.

 .

My heart isn't broken, just missing a piece,

it needs to be whole.

That piece won't stop the flow,

but it will change the tears to joy from sorrow.
