Flatlined
FLATLINED
I am looking at the line, but not one blip found
This heart is dead, every feeling been drowned
I know I’m still here, but; just in a different way
No sunshine shining, everything looking as grey
All boxes packed; somewhere in there my heart
Looking forward to unpacking it; to better start
Place it on the mantelpiece, protected by thorns
Until it is truly ready to leave all the past storms
I will check it every day waiting for just one sign
That it has paid it dues and, wants out to shine
Take it back to family: who loved it for what it is
Give it new life to watch it grow happily and, live
