A torn canvas

where my heart

was supposed to be

Beating soundlessly

A cherished blessing

heavens gave to me

That I bleed love

On every hand that alights

to touch my ragged cavity

As I peer enchantedly

through the ever widening hole

I see countless stars

shining brightly

against my darkened soul

Lighting up the nights

like a million fireflies

My melancholy moments merge

to create a magical world!
