Malnourished Heart

There’s a thorn in my heart

After 25 years, I’m ready for its removal

Must I go on like this?

With a hole in my heart

I finally met the love of my life

Time and space are the oceans we must cross

I removed the thorn too soon

These pages will dry the blood from my heart

To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else.
