The Anatomy of a Tired Heart
June 1, 2017
Under the willow tree,
We stand and try to remember
The beat of our hearts
And how they never seemed to stop
Under the oak tree
We trace all our veins
And compare them to map routes
The ones we would never follow
Under the acacia tree
We fill our four chambers
With unforgiving love
Until it flows no more
And when it inevitably stops
We pick up the broken pieces
Trying to mend it the best we can

I drew inspriation from troubles many people are going through today. Sometimes life becomes all too difficult to carry on your shoulders, and it's okay to slow down. It's for the people who feel alone or like the world is moving too fast for them to keep up. I hope that people take away something positive. I would like to show people the beauty of loving someone, or even something.
