My heart

Dear,

My heart

You have marks showing what I've done

You've seen things

No one wants to see

But you keep on beating

You're battered and bruised

You have scars

Caused by pain

By fear

But you still keep going

Keeping me alive

Giving me hope

When all you want to do

Is go out

You shine

You glow

You brighten

I know

If my heart

Can keep going

Can keep loving

Keep caring

Keep helping

Keep thriving

So can I

So can you

No matter how hard

And how dark it gets

Think of your heart

Bruised and battered

But making the world

A better place

    All you need is love?

    Love story?

    Not quite what the song was intended for

    But I know of love

    That opens doors

    The love that is

  • Dear New York City

    Dear New York City,

    I don’t know what it is

    That makes me love it so much

    Maybe it’s the buildings

    That stretch towards the sky

    Forever reaching upwards

  • Field of Roses

    Have you ever seen dozens of roses?

    A field perhaps

    Covered in red beauty

    Have you ever tried walking through dozens of roses?

    Your fingertips perhaps

    Covered in red blood

    From afar roses are gorgeous
