Passing by...

Lover walking by, hands held tight. Love lingers in the air, cupid's arrows blot out the sun. Lovers look at each other, the twinkle in each other's eyes proclaiming of eternity of life that'll drown in bliss. The exchanging of "I love you's" come from every corner, slowly hearts became one. Promises are made, sealing them with kisses and love forever true. In a dark corner I sit, I who look seemingly out of place amidst all the love and infatuation. Within my frail hands I hold a small delicate heart, slowly beating, slowly bleeding. A heart once full of joy and hope, a heart that experienced love and to be loved, a heart that felt the harshness of the world, stabbed with betrayal, and slowly it lose life. I hold my heart tight, hugging it close to my empty chest, afraid of finally losing it, afraid of losing myself. But, right then and there, you came. Out of all the oblivious people, you stretch out your hand, you slowly help me stand, you slowly bring back what once was lost.
