cor

after it broke
it seemed pointless
to try to mend
sharp edges
discoloured shards
cut into my fingers

the recess it left
a hollow point
behind a cage
severed lines
dried up
breaking down

no motivation
to regain
old attributes
kind desires
wild ambitions
simple regrets

the flow stopped
frozen over
falling out of place
shatter on command
despair, despair
it cannot be repaired

collect
watch
seek outside
recover
push off sadness
capture the essence

hearts can be strong
