Thoughts For Mg

how much pain can a heart hold?
is it like a cup?
overflowing when it’s full?
like a balloon?
expanding until it bursts?

will the gushing loss
of future memories
ever cease?
birthdays we’ll not celebrate?
sandy beaches we won’t walk?
quiet times we won’t share?

or
is the heart like a net?
does it capture all the memories,
all the hopes and plans and dreams
along with the pain?
does the good remain
and the rest just seep
slowly away?

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
