I never bothered to guard my heart
For it felt like I had none
Save the blood-dispensing one
Which played its part
Some told me I locked it
But why didn’t I have the key?
They said wait and see
I told them forget it!
Many helped in the search
For this most elusive object
Tried to make me perfect
Knock me off my ice-cold perch
She smiled and something changed
The familiar, trusted ice was cracked
My insides with novel emotions packed
Everything appearing rearranged
Svelte, lithe, a bundle of sunshine
Guilty of evoking endless feelings
Words suddenly had new meanings
Created by this angel of mine
An avalanche of sensations cascaded down
Chuckles of bliss, tears of parting
Random kisses, embraces reuniting
Electric tingles to my feet from my crown
Splashes of colour splotched across the skies
Sunrise, sunset, rain and thunder
Gave no worry, caused no wonder
‘Twas all pretty, even picturesque to my eyes
Happiness was now, forever seemed inevitable
But a crooked fork met our single path
Complex differentials that trumped math
To friends and foes scarcely believable
Heart-wrenchingly the curtains came down
On a fairytale ‘thout the happy ending
Two hearts hurt, two hearts bleeding
All that was green had turned to brown
Soulmate, first love, true love, only love?
She found the heart I didn’t know I possessed
But I lost her, I lost that heart, as I regressed
As melted ice down a cliff from up above
By: A friend. For a friend.
