I watch your distant heart
I see your pained grimace
Was I the one?
Or was it simply your
Misguided dreams?

Do you still watch my loving kindness?
Do you still see my smiling face?
Are you still my loving partner?
Or is that something we lost
So long ago?

Tomorrow.

And every day afterwards.

Yesterday.

And every day before.

I held your heart in an enchanted dream
Kept your memories in a golden box
And embraced your body in my frail arms.

Back then I was
Frail
Lonely
Small

But you lifted me
With your courageous strength.
And protected me
With your warm embrace.

But now you’re
Breaking
Lost
Alone

And now you need me
But what can my weak heart do?
“No…” You say.
“Your strength is that of kindness.”
