Feeling Do Carry Weight

A heart once closed,

Carrying the weight of doubt and trust.

It longed for escape,

And often flew from trouble

Smiling outside, cursing within.

Time chipped away at its calm.

Uncertainty crept in like shadow,

Loneliness echoed in its silence,

Tired of always running away.

Then came a flicker

A few kind souls from afar.

With gentle hearts, they stood beside it.

It opened, let itself feel,

Let itself be weak.

It didn’t know the world,

But the burden began to feel lighter.

Trust turned into feeling.

Emotions grew brighter.

But trust, once stretched too far, snaps.

Love, it learned, is a poison.

Even friendship, built on trust,

Has rules that must not be broken.

Life doesn’t bend to feelings.

Setbacks came like storms

Born from the very ones it trusted.

Now rained thorns

That pierced deeper than silence.

A broken vase cannot be mended.

It closed itself once more.

Bound again by time’s old chains,

Still carrying the weight.
