Hearts

We are all so fragile
Aching from
Day to day
Waiting to be set aflame
With purpose and meaning
Hiding our hearts
Cupped in our hands 
Like a sweet secret
We are afraid to share
But want so badly to
My limbs are heavy
My heart is swollen
I want to hold 
Everyone I have
Ever 
Loved
Close to my
Bruised chest
Whispering 
You are beautiful
You are loved
Please accept this
Moment in time
Let it carry you
Because it is all so
Fucking fleeting.

  1. How we want to! Here's to my hope that we *are* carried because it is too heavy for our aching arms and swollen hearts. Thanks for this!
