"You don't have a heart,"

They always told me

"Where can I find one?"

I always asked

Today, I heard a voiceless cry

A silent scream

I looked for the voice

And my heart stopped

Oh, how could it?

When I never had one

I saw it in front of my eyes

I found my heart

But why is nobody here?

Was it alone the whole time?

It spoke to me in whispers

A language only I understood

I held it close, a fragile thing that it was

And vowed to protect it

But as I held it

I realized, it wasn't mine

It belonged to the one it loved

And so I saw a ray of light

It entered through the window

Though there was no room

It glowed in the darkness

And I saw the truth

That my heart was never alone

For it was always searching for the one

It yearned to be with

And, so with tears

I set it free

To find the love it sought

It soared, like a bird taking flight

I knew it was for the best

So I let it go

Now I sit here

Empty-handed

But with a smile

They still taunt me

But I know

Someday, my heart will return

Not to me

But to the one it loves

And so I wait

Patiently and silently

For the day, it returns

Not to my arms

But to the one it was meant to be with

𝐐𝐔𝐎𝐓𝐄 (𝟑):

Loving wasn't enough, dying was.
