One day, my heart was chipped.

It was a tiny scratch
But ever since that day
I could only see my heart as something soiled.

I wanted to fix it
So I tried to file it with a rasp
But ever since that day
My heart has shrunk

I grew so lonely that
I embellished my heart with roses
But ever since that day
It has become shrouded that I lost sight of it

I fumbled for my heart amidst the thorns
No matter how painful, no matter tough,
Amidst falling tears
I sought my heart

And then,
The heart that I found
Was tiny but glowing
And because I could only see it as dear to me…

To this day, I keep it and don’t throw it away

To this day, I keep it and don’t throw it away
