I Keep Stitching My Heart

Love is sweet and painful at the same time.

————

I put a sign “Please no more romantic affair”

and locked my heart for long-time repair.

Since the time you had shuttered my heart,

I am still stitching, trying to connect every part. 

The pain is still there. 

It changes the rhythm of my pulse.

I feel the piercing pin going true, as well,

but this is ok, because I’m healing.

I’m learning how to smile, when you pass by.

After a while, I will be fine because 

the pain will end. I hope the scars will blend.

I hope my brain will destroy the bridges

built in time while being in love.
