could a heart in this world be

untouched?

not hurt?

not destroyed?

"Yes," some people say

"newborns, how could their hearts be shattered?

being brought into this world

living in this universe

"why?"

people ask.

its a cage

a cage of sorrow and grief

nothing in this world

is left untouched

no one in this world

has an untouched heart

I pity those

who still live on this earth

though

I envy

I truly envy those

who die

and go to

everlasting

eternal freedom

they can spread their wings

and fly anywhere they desire

they're

unburdened

they have

freedom.

does anyone have it?

could anyone have

freedom

in this world?

could any heart be

perfect?

no scars

no wounds

could every rose live

flawlessly?

isolated

destined to blossom

 neglected then

eventually

slowly wither away.

Oh my little red rose

let me change that

I notice you

I notice every little detail about you

I care about you

I miss you in your absence

I want to at least heal you

Let me heal your wounds

come my little red rose

come

ill comfort you

in my arms

ill hold you

tell me

tell me what's been captive in your heart.
