Heart by Toyer Fahie

 

Lucas Pezeta

Heart 

What is the size 

Of my heart

It’s about a fist

The experts say

How can it still be

When I gave pieces 

Of it away

What is the colour of my

Heart

Is it black or is it blue

All I really know 

It’s filled with a kaleidoscope 

Of love

For you

What is the shape

Of my heart

Is it like the ones we see

Perfectly shaped

As if on TV

If the shape is perfect

And intact 

Does it mean I didn’t

Give any love back

Who truly knows the

Powers of the heart

Who knows what really makes it 

Spark

Who really knows how to make it 

Happy

Who really knows 

What causes the heart agony 

How will I know

If it’s been stolen

How will I know if my heart is

Truly Golden

How will I know if it’s broken

Or is it whole

Is my heart really connected to my soul

I guess there is more than a few things

That pull on my heart strings

I may never know
