A lonely heart

How can a heart

Feel so heavy?

Weighted with throbbing aches

And tarnished

By fizzy feelings

And a memory of someone's touch.

And yet the heart is empty,

Weightless in its memory

Of the feather-like touches

Vague; a dark hue,

But still etched and tangled

In the heartstrings.

Remembering is longing

For something long gone.
