My Heart

My heart was once shattered

and scattered

All over the South Bay

Sadly, I was okay

I accepted that my heart was

decimated and obliterated

I’m pretty sure my heart died

Flat-lined

I walked around empty and hollow

Not really looking forward to

tomorrow

Then came you

and suddenly my heart went from

black to blue

purple, turquoise

yellow in its hue

My heart beats again

It pumps blood

Red

I’m alive and back from

the dead

By God’s grace I’ll take your hand and venture out to uncharted land

I’ll close my eyes and sleep next to you

Pray for you

Write for you

Save myself for you

Belong only to you

The sun shines against my teeth

The moon glows in my eyes

The stars sparkle like my ring
