How amazing is the heart
to break and break again
and not ere be done with
the pulse of agony.

Slow running stitches
stabilize the tear
but when the thread runs out
a revealing stare results.  

And that stare like a laser beam
cuts right to the core
and in situ cauterizes
the advance of agony.

But who can stand and stare
at a tear that runs amok
when the pulse of agony
beats vehemently?

So I make those running stitches
time and time again
because strange I am to not believe
revealing stares are laser beams!

Human feelings seem to come from the heart. How fortunate it is that the heart was created to be the strongest and most powerful muscle in our body. Just when we think that it has been shattered to pieces, it slowly recovers and is ready to take on the next break. Sometimes, though, the healing process appears to take forever. Sometimes, it seems, it has to work even harder on a daily basis.
