Inspired from Lilo&Stitch
“It’s...broken, but still good.”
It ushers and tethers me.
My heart is a good one.
Caress that gentle giant, the one who tells you to wither not,
The one who tells you…
live…I’m trying so hard
Be alive even at the strokes of brushes of feathers, or
trail of daggers meandering and raving down your back
Press your hands to it, feel it working so hard to keep you
alive.
My heart is a good one.
Life in its rawest form
Palpitations after palpitations.
I have a heart, it is a good one.
We see the tenderness, the struggle
in newborn life,
A fissure out of an eggshell,
A tiny hand grasp, tight on your finger
Yet we don’t see it in us…
We’re struggling to live too…
We all are…
We have a heart, it is a good one.
Listen to my connection of time,
It ticks and beats
Interweaving every precious tocks of my life
Transcending time
To love’s end
Like the end of a string
Who’s fettered on the other end.
Another good heart?
