it doesn't make sense to let go of something you have wanted for so long, but it also doesn't make sense to hold on when there's nothing there...


it slips through the holes in my heart

and i open my mouth

to cry out

 

but the sound is stolen

by the laughing wind

 

i give a desperate try

to reach it

my hopes lift

only to plunge again

 

it descends gracefully

away from me

quick!

someone, grab it!

 

but nobody can

only i can

and i do not.

 

it enters

the dark emptiness

without a splash

 

my horrified heart

watches as it slowly

sinks down

until i cannot see it

anymore

 

gobbled

by some unseen monster

 

where has it gone?
