Mar'Yam Thaoban Poet Lyric

I Sold My Heart

I sold my heart to one 
It was bought by another
Claimed by a number
While it remains in my possession.
My heart belongs to an owner
Locked in a cage
To prevent its shattered pieces
From piercing innocently 
In a guilty manner
Unsuspecting passersby. 
Yet some tidbits
Find their way out 
Through cracks 
In the wall
Still. 
My heart had been shattered 
Once, 
I left the pieces 
Scattered 
In the wall
But more guarded
Now ever than before. 
Each piece made a whole
Nurtured to heal
In peace. 
My heart is whole
I hope you know
True that it's in pieces 
Each a part of a whole. 
But then its owned by none
Except the owner
Yet, its fate lies with one
And no other. 
My heart is healed
Hear me, 
No longer in ruins
Believe me, 
The pieces made it
More beautiful even
And now it loves
Wholly apiece, 
Each piece loving
And Living
As the part of a whole
To make it whole.
