It appeared to be liquid love
Consisting of a mercurial matter
Which then showered across her chest
This curious essence completely splattered
She was then drenched in translucent passion
From his apparent spasmodic contraction
And this all seemed to be the consequence
Of some unknown gravitational reaction

He hides his goodbyes
In her hellos
Never revealing
What she already knows
And as the days continue
And the months turn to years
She blossoms for him
Increasing his fears
For he knows the cost
Of true love upon a soul
And if he loses her now
He’ll never feel whole
So he hides his feelings
As best he can
Hopeful that someday
She’ll understand

Where to start
With a paper heart
Uniquely delicate
And gossamer thin
With a pale almost
Colorless skin
Can there be
A more fragile design?
This is why paper hearts
Get left behind

Writing prompt: paper heart
He has knowledge and wisdom
Beyond logical compare
He understands the very things
In which others aren’t unaware
And yet he can’t always see it
Or understand the how’s and why’s
Which frustrates him immensely
All because of a gift he can’t deny

For the one who’s imprisoned in so much darkness that they can’t see through
For the one who’s lost in a sea of emptiness trying their very best to make do
For the one who is laughed at and ridiculed daily, and long ago withdrew
For the one who feels alone because heartfelt loving words are long overdue
For the one who feels worthless and ashamed because of a life of blame, it’s untrue
For the one who feels unloved and unaccepted and just wants someone to run to
For the one who’s dying inside and desperately hoping that God is really true
For the one who has hopes and dreams and is just waiting for a chance to breakthrough
This one’s for you…
Never give up and never forget that you are worth so much more than you could ever imagine.
God loves you more in a single moment, than anyone else could love you in a lifetime.
