...
...............I found............................my heart
..........sitting in the sun............while waiting for you,
.......but you did not come...........I held it through highs and
......lows, The storms, the rains...........I nearly drown. Through
.....hot and cold, moments near and far..........I made an offering
....of it but you said no. What.........disappointment, despair and
....grief. I kept it stored away...............I hoped and hoped but had
....found no solace. You left.................You left and turned back to
....me. Uncontrollably you needed..........me. I wonder if then you
....wanted it? I used to show it to............you, every once in a
......while and say I wondered who I'd.........give it to? But then
.......I'd place it back, not ready to..............hand it over. And
........when you left the second time, ..........What sorrow I felt.
..........So much, that I left it with you.................in your care. It
...........rested next to yours. Then there........was that week.
............The week we did not talk. Oh what.....did you do
...............with my heart! ? But then you.........sent it in
..................the air flying high for........several days.
....................I found it wrapped in..........cotton
.......................With a soft pink bow........And
..........................held each piece in
............................each hand. I wonder
.............................how many more
................................pieces you'll
...................................break it
......................................in?
