Our Melody

I gave you a piece of my heart,
A darning stitch it sews,
An old open wound together,
That piece is now yours.

You must guard it dutifully,
Remember to keep it close,
Take it with you wherever,
Protect it from hate’s claws.

It loves you unconditionally,
A promise more than words,
It is the hardest endeavour,
It is love’s only clause.

I gave you a piece of my heart,
You are the one it chose,
A bond I cannot sever,
A beat without pause.

I carry a piece of your heart,
Bestowed by the cosmos,
It connected us forever,
A tribute to life’s flaws.

Abandoned so carelessly,
The toy a child outgrows,
Not even a guilty letter,
Buried in empty drawers.

It still torments me tirelessly,
While encased in hate’s throes,
It consumes all my anger,
It loves without a cause.

I carry a piece of your heart,
You are the one it follows,
A steadily burning ember,
A weight my heart adores.
