nineteenth: pre-damaged hearts

A broken heart turns to ice,

Cold to anyone who approaches it.

You circled that traitorous heart of mine cautiously,

Aware of the pre-damage, unsure whether

You should be the one to fix it.


But you were the one I saw in the after-smoke.

To kick-start the fire in my eyes

You broke into that emotionless void,

And the color in my face reignited once more.
