A Heart, Opened

A Heart, Opened

an odd compilation of
odd feelings overwhelm
an open heart
oddly, it won't close

feet beat the ground
each step, pounding, makes
an open heart
skip a beat

eyes bestow tears:
they run with thoughts that
an open heart
stows away

one's feelings
become another's
an open heart
always feels

mind searches for
some way to save
an open heart
caught in a new mind

body becomes paralyzed
a closed mind and
an open heart
one and the frozen same

the path to
empathy proves
pathetic

a heart burns with
the instigative tears of another
an open heart
always feels
