A New Heart

The heart never forgets the long walks that it treads.

This is familiar territory,

I’ve been here before.

I’ve heard that voice of sweet tones.

Your eyes are filled with hope.

I know those faces,

The undertones and thoughts.

I see the way your body moves.

The shape of your being.

I don’t believe that I am here again.

I cannot handle this burden,

The pain and weight of my chest.

How hard will this life be now?

Now that I have fallen yet again.

Deep into your arms,

Heavy into your eyes,

Can you find a place for me in your heart?
