Peacefully Crumpled Heart

When I disappear I go so far from here No one can find the heart inside of which I hide Its hollowed and sullen now But I’ve built walls and made a home here in the hole of it all The soft red shades of it had faded to gray Sitting alone here is not as sad as it seems I find peace in the slowing and quickly fading beatings of it It may not be much but it is all that I have A saddened heart in which I sit Try to find me Just watch for the thistles that surround in protection I will grow a garden here I will make this sad darkened heart beat once more I think to myself As the last beat echoes through the hollowed walls of this lost heart Remaining forever safe and hidden away from the world At peace at last
