I Pulled My Heart Out and Looked At Her

I pulled my heart out and looked at her.
I had never seen her from this angle,
She was a child.
Hurt and lonely, with tear-stained eyes, only wanting to be held.
So, I reached out my hand and held her tighter and tighter
until we became one.
Until I was left holding myself.
