| Today, I lay down my heart, no longer shouldered on my sleeve. I leave it behind and look ahead with new eyes no longer searching for hidden meanings between the lines of another�s happiness. Today, I lay down my heart and breathe with relief as I walk minus the weight of its pieces piercing the softness of my spirit. I walk with covered eyes to ward off uninvited glances at the tear-streaked lenses of my soul. Today, I lay down my heart unable to reconcile the rift between the intended purity of love and the edited version at the root of my hope�s demise. Baptized by sorrow, I rise to begin anew, heartless- never again to be broken. RLT �7-8-01 |
